Here's the ESPN story- but keep voting democRAT: A senior member of the athletics staff at a community college in Oakland, California, was shot on campus Thursday, the second time in two days the city has had a shooting at a local school. The Oakland Police Department said it was investigating the shooting that occurred just before noon at Laney College, where officers arrived to find a man with gunshot wounds. The victim was taken to a hospital and his condition was unknown. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee said she was "heartbroken" by "the second shooting on an Oakland campus in one week." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46959827/former-coach-last-chance-u-school-shot-campus

If I had to place a wager, I’d guess he recently said something in opposition to men competing in women’s sports and being in their locker rooms.
Just a hunch.

Antifa and BLM both wear uniforms like that- dark clothes and a black hoodie. Gang thugs like those duds, too.
