A Florida football coach was critically wounded when he used his own body to shield four children who were in his SUV from a drive-by shooting that killed a 13-year-old boy, his lawyer said.
Jacksonville attorney John Philips, who is representing the unnamed wounded coach, said his client was driving the boys home from football tryouts Saturday when a vehicle pulled up to the intersection of Moncrief Road West and New Kings Road in Jacksonville, and someone inside opened fire.
According to Phillips, the 21-year-old coach dove to provide cover for the boys and was shot 10 times, suffering serious injuries requiring multiple surgeries, reported Action News Jax.
One of the children, 13-year-old Prince Holland, was killed, and an 11-year-old boy was injured in the shooting but was expected to recover.
The two other boys in the coach’s SUV, ages 14 and 15, were unharmed.
