(Disclaimer: Except we are not sure at this point the motive or reasoning behind the incident. Another incident in Florida, so, especially there, gangs or almost anything could be a factor and the fact the man shot was an NFL player may have nothing to do with it.)
I said at the beginning of the year that I felt an NFL player might be killed off the field and football be the cause.
The disclaimer above applies, but suspended St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey, suspended four games for a substance abuse violation, is in a hospital in Florida tonight with two gunshot wounds, one to the head and one to the hip.
Unbelievably, the wounds do not appear to be life-threatening.
The same cannot be said for the driver of his car, who shielded two young relatives of Bailey. He has many gunshot wounds, and his prognosis is grim.
Obviously, in 2015, we cannot rule out that this would be some crazed fan/fantasy football player. That said, that is only one of a myriad of possibilities.
There is one very disturbing thing about this. It is clear that Bailey's car was riddled with many, many bullets, between the two shots Bailey himself took and the more than a few the driver did.
So it's almost clear there was some degree of targeting here. Just why? We don't know yet.
