Former Stewartville High School Coach Dies by Suicide After Shooting Student-Athlete
Stewartville, MN – A tragic shooting incident occurred early Friday morning in the parking lot of Stewartville High School, resulting in one fatality and leaving a male teenager in critical condition.
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the event, which unfolded as the school’s wrestling team prepared to depart for a tournament.
Dispatchers received a 911 call around 5 a.m., alerting law enforcement to a shooting at the high school, located approximately 10 miles south of Rochester.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered two shooting victims in the parking lot.
A teenage boy who sustained a gunshot wound and was immediately transported to a local hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and remains in critical condition. Investigators confirmed the student was shot while walking toward a waiting bus.
An adult male was found deceased nearby, with a rifle next to him.
Authorities have ruled the death an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to Sheriff Kevin Torgerson, a bus carrying approximately 40 coaches and student-athletes for a wrestling meet was parked in front of the school when the violence erupted.
A coach discovered the injured student shortly after the initial shot was fired, and the second, self-inflicted shot was reportedly heard at that time.
While officials have not released the identity of the deceased, further context surrounding the event has emerged:
The deceased individual, identified as Logan Moyer, was a former coach who was reportedly terminated for violating school policy by coaching a wrestler during the off-season.
Investigators believe the coach targeted the student he allegedly blamed for his dismissal.
The investigation is underway to formally determine the relationship between the two individuals and the complete motive.
Both Sheriff Torgerson and Superintendent Selfors have urged the public and media to refrain from speculation as the investigation proceeds.
The shooting has led to the immediate cancellation of all classes for the day at both Stewartville High School and the adjacent middle school.
The students who were present for the team departure were safely reunited with their families, with Sheriff Torgerson noting that most were unaware of the full gravity of the situation at the time.
Stewartville Superintendent Belinda Selfors released a statement, calling it “an incredibly difficult day for our community” and emphasizing the importance of collective support.
The district has mobilized comprehensive support services for students, staff, and families, which will be available through the weekend and the following week. In the wake of the incident, the school district also canceled Friday night’s scheduled basketball game with Lourdes.
Sheriff Torgerson concluded his statement by stressing the widespread impact of the incident, asking the community for support during this challenging time.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
