Re: OT: Marvin Harrison involved in shooting investigation
Here's what i've found out.....
Indianapolis Colts all-pro wide receiver Marvin Harrison is under investigation in his home town of Philadelphia in a shooting that took place late Tuesday afternoon, outside a North Philadelphia bar owned by Harrison, a source close to the investigation told Anthony Gargano of WIP Radio in Philadelphia.
The source said the alleged victim came into the bar, Playmakers, around 5 p.m., and engaged in an argument with Harrison, who was at the bar. The victim then left the bar, heading to his car, with Harrison following. Gunfire broke out, the victim was hit in the hand, and a young girl was slightly injured by flying glass from a car that apparently was hit by a bullet.
Police came to scene, but the victim did not identify a shooter. On Wednesday, according to the source, ballistic tests showed that the gun that had fired the shots was a custom-made Belgian weapon, and police determined that Harrison owned such a gun.
Police then went to a Philadelphia car wash owned by Harrison, to question him about the gun. Harrison admitted owning such a weapon, but claimed it never left his suburban Philadelphia home. However, again according to the source, the gun was discovered in a bucket at the car wash, and tests showed that it had fired seven bullets that matched those found at the scene.
The source says police were contacted today by an attorney representing a second alleged victim in the shooting, and police are now waiting for that individual to come forward.
Harrison has yet to be arrested or charged with the crime. ESPN is attempting to reach Harrison, his agent and the Colts for comment.
