¶ MIAMI (AP) _ Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition after he was shot at his Florida home Monday, police said.
¶ Miami-Dade County police officers were dispatched to Taylor's home at about 1:45 a.m. and found him shot. He was then airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said. He didn't know where on Taylor's body he was shot.
¶ A brief statement from the Redskins said Taylor was undergoing treatment at the Miami hospital and that police were investigating. His family has asked that no information about his condition be released at this point, said hospital spokeswoman Lorraine Nelson.
¶ Taylor has a home in the wealthy Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay that he bought for $900,000 two years ago.
¶ Taylor, 24, is in his fourth season with the Redskins after playing at the University of Miami. He leads the team with five interceptions but has missed the last two games with a knee injury.
¶ In 2005, Taylor was accused of brandishing a gun at a man and repeatedly hitting him during a fight that broke out after Taylor and some friends went looking for the people who had allegedly stolen his all-terrain vehicles.
¶ Taylor reached a deal with prosecutors last year after they agreed to drop felony charges against him. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in the assault case and was sentenced to 18 months probation.
¶ The man, Ryan Hill, also sued, seeking at least $15,000 in damages. Hill suffered bruising to his body, incurred medical expenses and lost wages because of the fight, the lawsuit said.

Wow. This is very tragic. He is listed as in Crotocal condition at the hospital. My thoughts and praters are with your family Sean.

Schneed10 · 11-26-2007, 10:51 AM

This is making me pretty sad.

Wow...this is really bumming me out today.

Ocliw · 11-26-2007, 10:55 AM

Headline news said he was shot twice.

Dlyne8r · 11-26-2007, 10:55 AM

Why would ANYONE want to live in f***ing Miami? What a hell hole! Say what you want about South Beach, etc., and I'm sure ST wasn't living in a slum, but the crime rate there is off the freakin' hook.

12thMan · 11-26-2007, 10:59 AM

I heard he was down there with his fam for thanksgiving and getting a second opinion on his knee

Man he could have died.

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor is in extremely critical condition after someone shot him at his home early this morning.

Before dawn Monday, Taylor, a former University of Miami football player, was shot in the leg, but the bullet struck the femoral artery, and he has lost a lot of blood.

See what the hell would you shoot someone for? All this violence makes no fucking sense! Hope Sean is ok

BrudLee · 11-26-2007, 11:01 AM

Holy shit.

SouperMeister · 11-26-2007, 11:05 AM

I'm feeling the same way I did when information trickled out about the Len Bias overdose. Lord, may this outcome be better. Sean needs all our prayers at this time.

mheisig · 11-26-2007, 11:02 AM

Man this just makes me sick. I didn't know how critical he was, but I'm damn ashamed my first thought was about the football season.

Let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers - there's a young man fighting for his life right now.
