East High School football coach Mike Bell is being hailed as a hero after he rushed to help one of his players who was shot outside the Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Martin Luther King Jr. Branch, applying pressure to the wound, keeping the student conscious, and comforting other players until paramedics arrived; school officials say his quick action and close bond with students helped stabilize a chaotic situation, and the injured player—a team leader and Division I prospect—remains hospitalized but is recovering.
