That's what bothers me the most; if he gets shot running around doing crap he knows better than to do, ehh, tough sh*t for him. But to be shot at your house during what is arguably becoming your best year as a professional football player with regards to conduct and ability. That's tragedy.

I believe that the femoral nerve that runs beside the artery controls the upper leg motion down to the knee. If he survives, but has nerve damage there, we may be looking at a career ending injury.
