The Oakland Police Department says a suspect has been arrested in the shooting of college football coach John Beam, known from Netflix's “Last Chance U.” Beam remains in critical condition after being shot on the school’s campus. This marks the second school shooting in Oakland in two days. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee praised Beam as a mentor and community leader. Two of Beam's former players, now in the NFL, expressed their support on social media. Beam, who started at Laney College in 2004, has helped 20 players reach the NFL.
