Report: Marvin Harrison being investigated for shooting

[Chubz]

Per WFAn and now ESPN:

Colts wide reciever Marvin Harrison is being investigated by Philadelphia police for his involvement in a shooting. Of all the guys to get involved in something like this, I would certaiinly never think it would be him.

No way... I have to see it to believe it. I hope it is a mistake. Marvin = Class act IMO!!

The report is, that he got into an altercation with another fella at a bar. They exchanged words, the man left and Harrison followed and gunshots were fired. He isnt under arrest, just a person on interest at this time

I wouldn't even expect him to be at a bar. But either way I hope it works out ok for him.

Wow. Its always amazing to me how athletes somehow almost ALWAYS find themselves in the middle of some sort of fight when they go out.

True. These are probably just accusations that someone made just hoping to get paid. Ambulance chasers FTL!

MORE DETAILS ON HARRISON INCIDENT

Posted by Mike Florio on May 3, 2008, 10:25 a.m.

The Philadelphia Daily News has a lengthy (and excellent) story about the shooting outside the aptly-named “Playmakers” bar in North Philadelphia, which is owned by Colts receiver (and Philly native) Marvin Harrison.

Here are some things we didn’t previously know (or previously hadn’t noticed):

The victim of the shooting had been in a fistfight with Harrison moments before the shooting. The victim had been kicked out of the bar two weeks earlier, and had bickered with Harrison ever since.

The victim initially concealed the fact that he’d been shot. He later admittied it, but declined to identify the shooter.

As to those reports of the Belgian gun being found in a bucket, the Daily News writes that Harrison handed the gun over.

Harrison spent four hours being interviewed at the police station, with his attorney present. Harrison acknowledged being involved in a fight with the victim, but denied any involvement in the shooting.

Detectives are searching for another man who called and claimed that he’d been shot by Harrison.

Five of the six shell casings found at the scene came from Harrison’s gun.

Though police have taken great pains to explain that there currently is no suspect, the Daily News makes clear that Harrison is a target of the investigation.

And why wouldn’t he be? It was his gun that had been fired, and the gun was in his possession the next day. Unless Harrison is in a position to implicate someone else (or if there’s someone else who’ll take the fall), it’s all pointing to him at this point.

I can't belive it. He may have really shot the guy.....

[Darius Ali]

Just pathetic. If he did this then I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. Lock his ass up. No mercy. Im sick of these athletes doing shit like this.

[FSUViking]

Hopefully, but it still classifies Harrison as a complete moron if nothing else. Putting a custom-made Belgian .50 cal capable of punching through multiple layers of kevlar, in a spot where someone can get their hands on it. In a fucking BAR, no less? That's Emmitt Smith dumb, right there.

And, the shit just keeps getting more fucking bizarre..........

WILD CLAIMS IN HARRISON CASE
Posted by Mike Florio on May 6, 2008, 7:01 a.m.

We were alerted last night to some eye-popping claims regarding the Marvin Harrison case made by Philly sports anchor Keith Russell during a Monday afternoon radio spot in Miami. And so we tracked down the audio, and we have given it a listen.

Appearing with Jason Jackson on WQAM, Russell said that his sources tell him that the guy who was allegedly shot in the hand after leaving Harrison’s bar last Tuesday had come to the establishment to carry out a gangland-style “hit.”

A “hit” on Harrison.

Seriously.

Russell said during the segment that the issue relates to Harrison’s father, who is (per Russell) incarcerated, and that the supposed “hit” was in retaliation for something Harrison’s father supposedly had done.

Media sources in Philadelphia tell us that the contention, which Russell apparently hasn’t made on the air in his home market, is simply not true.

Russell also said that there are “people who are willing to do whatever is necessary” to keep Harrison from facing charges.
