Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh (UPDATED 6:54 PM)

[Redskin Warrior]

Dear God,

I hope and pray that Sean will be okay not so he can play football again so he can be able to live, take care of his family. If he is able to play football that is a plus but not my focus for this prayer. This is a clear act of no sense and I hope you can direct, guide & help the people that committed this vicious act. May you bless the Taylor family Amen.

Sean Taylor was my favorite player in the NFL I am emotional destroyed about this as long as I've been a Redskin fan I've followed him I'm just plain shocked & hurt. We are fans we grow with the team I felt like ST was family even though I never meet him a day in my life. Life is messed up sometimes it really is!!!

I want to thank the fans of other teams who have posted their concerns here - and remind everyone that we're all friends here. If you see a Cowboys, Giants, or Eagles avatar - or anyone else, for that matter - take their concern at face value. No one is here to gloat or tease us at this critical time.

Special thanks to those friendly fans of other teams who have changed their avatars to reflect their concern. You know who you are.

My experience in working in the medical field lets me know one thing : Gunshot wounds to the thigh DO NOT require getting air lifted to a hospital, you go by ambulance. This is not good my friends.

Im gonna go pray.....

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, but from a law enforcement perspective.

I was the first officer on two scenes in the last year where the victims were shot in the legs. One guy was shot through the thigh and calf with a 9mm handgun, the other was shot through the thigh with a .22 rifle.

Both were evacuated by ambulance, not helicopter. In fact, with the first one (the one shot with the 9mm), myself, the victim and another officer had to remain behind the cover of a pickup truck given that the shooter was supposedly in a building directly across from us. We were eventually evacuated by the SWAT team about 30-45 minutes after my arrival.

As far as I know both victims made it fine. The one shot with the 9mm was lucid and talkative the entire time I was with him.

I guess it all depends on where the shots landed and, specifically, with what weapon he was shot. Makes me think this was a particularly bad circumstance since he was taken out via helicopter.

what the fuckkkkk...?

This is so shocking and unsettling. Poor, Sean. He seems to get a lot of bad breaks.

I pray he survives and comes out of this a stronger person. To God be the glory of his remarkable recovery. May your protection, healing and comfort be upon Sean and his family. In Jesus' name. Amen.

We love you Sean. Thanks for always playing your heart out for us. Our hearts are with you and your family.

I keep hearing from multiple sources, including JLC, that the situation is stabilizing. Seems like he's going to make it through this one.

Still, theres absolutely no doubt that you have to shut him down for the year now. Playoff hopes be damned if need be, we should just hope he can one day play for us again. Arterial bleeding is about as serious as an injury can be.

[VTSkins897]

jesus i can't believe this. i am praying that he is okay.

Basically everyone is talking about how much Sean has matured over the past few years, how he is a different person from '05, how he has changed since starting a family. James Thrash is talking right now, you can get the live stream from Redskins.com.

Thrash: We're praying for his family; the Skins have organized a prayer meeting and have prayed; during team meeting pastor came in and team prayed.
