UPS shooting victim Benson Louie was beloved volleyball coach
The 50-year-old San Francisco resident was one of three people killed Wednesday when a fellow UPS driver opened fire at a company distribution center on Potrero Hill in San Francisco.
The gunman, Jimmy Lam, 38, killed himself when confronted by police, authorities said.
Larry Zhao, who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., met Louie four years ago through the Chinese American Sports and Community Service Association, a nonprofit organization in New York that engages Chinese Americans in sports competitions and activities.
Louie was a coach and a guide to the young men he trained in volleyball, Zhao said.
On Facebook, volleyball players and other friends remembered him as “Uncle Louie,” who was known to be an outspoken, animated and determined player and coach.
The people who take part in volleyball competitions are “like family,” Zhao said.
