I read the ESPN News Alert, and I thought: “No way. Can’t be. I gotta read this.” And what I read said the same thing as the news caption (I thought maybe it was a typo): Marvin Harrison, Indy’s receiver that seems to be one of the better people in the NFL, is a suspect in a shooting.
The source said the alleged victim came into the bar, Playmakers, around 5 p.m. and engaged in an argument with Harrison, who was at the bar. The victim then left the bar, heading to his car, with Harrison following. Gunfire broke out, the victim was hit in the hand, and a young girl was slightly injured by flying glass from a car that apparently was hit by a bullet.
Police came to scene, but the victim did not identify a shooter. On Wednesday, according to the source, ballistic tests showed that the gun that had fired the shots was a custom-made Belgian weapon, and police determined that Harrison owned such a gun.
However, the source said the gun was discovered in a bucket at the car wash, and tests showed that it had fired seven bullets that matched those found at the scene.
Ray Lewis, sure. Chris Henry, yeah. Pacman, definitely. Mavin Harrison? Really? WTF, people. WTF.
