Football can be a violent sport, but not this kind of violent. A student who plays football at ASA College, Jeremiah Trevon Harris, is currently facing second-degree murder charges. He’s also facing two attempted murder charges. According to the report, Harris shot and killed a teammate after they had an argument gone really bad at practice.
In total there were three victims of the shooting. They reportedly approached the shooter at the team hotel when things went really really bad.

In a statement, ASA — a private, for-profit college with campuses in Miami and New York City, said classes were canceled until Thursday in light of the incident.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this tragedy,” the statement read.
Mental health issues continue to be a problem for some athletes, and clearly this guy had some preexisting issues.
