Ed Thomas
Ed Thomas (1951–June 24, 2009) was the high school football coach at the Aplington-Parkersburg High School in Parkersburg, Iowa. On June 24, 2009 he was gunned down by a former student at the school. Thomas was taken to a Waterloo, Iowa hospital where he was pronounced dead. Mark Becker, the accused killer, is known to be a methamphetamine user by police records. Becker admitted to this drug habit to the courts in January. Before the murder Becker was in a psychiatric ward at Covenant Medical Center following a violent weekend rampage. Police are uncertain as to how Becker got out of the ward.
