Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison is under investigation in his hometown of Philadelphia in a shooting that took place earlier this week. From ESPN:

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. A source told ESPN.com’s John Clayton that the gun is registered.

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, the source said 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.

What an idiot. I don’t know what’s more dumb – shooting a guy with lots and lots of people around to witness the event or shooting a guy with an expensive and exotic handgun that almost nobody else other then a spoiled professional athlete could afford.

Why does he even feel the need to shoot somebody? Hasn’t he read coach Tony Dungy’s book, “Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life.” I haven’t gotten around to reading it myself, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t recommend shooting people with your custom-made Belgian handgun.

Then again, maybe it does.
