Oakland police officials announced Friday that they have made an arrest in connection with Thursday's shooting at Laney College. Sources at the San Francisco Chronicle identified the person shot as legendary football coach John Beam.

Beam died earlier Friday after a shooting on the Laney campus, where he was athletic director. A suspect, 27-year-old Cedric Irving Jr., is reportedly in custody and the authorities have described the attack as targeted, with the suspect and victim apparently knowing each other.
