Tyson “Red” Gibbs, a former Waggener High School football player, has been shot and killed, according to the team’s head coach.
Gibbs was shot and killed in the Shawnee neighborhood of Kentucky, on Saturday and was confirmed to be a Waggener High School football player, said Coach Jordan Johnson on Sunday.
Gibbs played defensive tackle for Waggener for two years, Johnson said. Johnson expressed his grief on Twitter after he learned about Gibbs’ death.
Waggener Football HC @Waggener_FB: “By far the worst part of coaching. I received the call I never want to receive, one of my son’s from my team was murdered in west end. #hurt”
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the official identity of the shooting victim, who was found in the 400 block South 38th Street after LMPD’s ShotSpotter alerted officers to gunfire in the area. source
