Breaking news involving Marvin Harrison right now on ESPN

[Vinny]

Wow..Marvin Harrison getting involved in a shooting is somewhat surprising. He's always been the quiet type or at least that is what the perception was. But on the other hand you always gotta watch out for the quiet types. Anyway, hope he's alright and hopefully we'll learn details soon because it certainly is a very strange incident.

Wow, talk about a story I never thought I'd see. This guy has been the standard of professionalism. Where did this come from?

Would not expect this from a quiet guy like Marvin Harrison.

It is odd for him to display such aggressive behavior off the field when he always looks so under control professionally, I can't imagine seeing him do that. However this reminds me of an incident a couple years ago where he was accused of strangling some kid(s) that were asking for his autograph around the pro-bowl. This is all I could find about it:

"Marvin Harrison Accused of Strangling Fans: A lawsuit filed in Hawaii accuses Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison and two other men of attacking and strangling three boys when they sought Harrison's autograph the day before the Pro Bowl.

While no one has been charged in the case, police did interview Harrison while he was in Honolulu and forwarded their report to city prosecutors.

The lawsuit will come as a surprise to many Colts fans. The team has a mild-mannered aura and Harrison has never gotten into big trouble in the past. Heck, he barely even gets fouls called on him on the field. Whether there's truth to the accusations are yet to be seen; but, that the accusation is even out there is already a surprise."

Harrison's behavior was talked about a while back here...

First he has to get out of jail

He's not in jail. He has not been arrested.

He's being interviewed by police. His agent says the rumors of his direct involvement in the shooting are NOT TRUE.

Not trying to be jerk here, but Marvin's not in jail.

so you dont think he going there ?

Agreed, but I want to hear more information before making a judgement here. I'm certain there's more here than what we know.

 

[kastofsna]

well if it turns out he wasn't involved, then i'd certainly hope not.

Agreed. I just think the specifics of the Belgium gun makes it likely that he was at least somehow involved whether someone else in his group pulled it out or not. After reading stories on him over the days I guess he isn't exactly the best guy but you never know.

 

[GP]

Unless someone here is God and has the ability to see into the future, I don't think any of us need to rush into saying that he's going to jail.

Did you not read the story? He hasn't been arrested, and you said "First he has to get out of jail."

It's not a matter of "if" I think he's going to jail. I was just bringing some factuality into the thread since you had mis-spoken on it.

 

[El Tejano]

I really hope everything works out for him.

If not, this helps us with a win if he doesn't ever play against us this year.

If so, then I hope we put the lock down on him.

That's me as a fan but as a person I really hope everything works out for him if innocent.

Guns do not get people into trouble. Being stupid and acting stupid gets people into trouble. Following someone outside a bar gets people into trouble. Having a gun recently used in a shooting at a car wash in a buket gets people into trouble.

Owning a gun does not get anyone into trouble if the follow the law.

The problem is that almost everyone does something stupid from time to time. The gun just magnifies the stupidity exponentially. You have to be a lot more pissed off to kill someone with your fists than you have to be to kill someone with a gun. With your fists, you've got more time to realize you're doing something stupid. With a gun, it's already over.

Doing something stupid is one thing doing anything with a gun that involves shooting at people is beyond stupidity . However he can be thankful he is such a bad shot that he only hit a hand in seven tries .

Good post.

From the "How does this affect the Texans?" department, it will be the Colts 4th game when they play the Texans. Will Marvin's suspension be that long? I'm thinking more like 2 games.

Well from the I dunno department....he has bad wheels. and an eight million dollar price tag. if there were any doubts that the Clots were going in different direction ths year...he litterally just supplied Pollan and Dungy the ammo.

Six bullet casings found near Marvin Harrison's car wash and garage came from a gun owned by Harrison, according to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
The casings were found after last week's shooting. Harrison claims he was not involved in the gunfight. A third alleged victim has come forward, which led investigators to the scene again. Previously, only a 32-year-old man and a two-year-old boy who was hurt by broken glass were known to be injured.

WILD CLAIMS IN HARRISON CASE
Posted by Mike Florio on May 6, 2008, 7:01 a.m.

We were alerted last night to some eye-popping claims regarding the Marvin Harrison case made by Philly sports anchor Keith Russell during a Monday afternoon radio spot in Miami. And so we tracked down the audio, and we have given it a listen.

Appearing with Jason Jackson on WQAM, Russell said that his sources tell him that the guy who was allegedly shot in the hand after leaving Harrison’s bar last Tuesday had come to the establishment to carry out a gangland-style “hit.”

A “hit” on Harrison.

Seriously.

Russell said during the segment that the issue relates to Harrison’s father, who is (per Russell) incarcerated, and that the supposed “hit” was in retaliation for something Harrison’s father supposedly had done.

Media sources in Philadelphia tell us that the contention, which Russell apparently hasn’t made on the air in his home market, is simply not true.

Russell also said that there are “people who are willing to do whatever is necessary” to keep Harrison from facing charges.

In the following Q&A, Yahoo! Sports legal analyst Craig Silverman addresses the ramifications of a report that six bullet casings found by police following a shooting in Philadelphia last week were fired from a gun that belongs to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison.

The shooting occurred April 29 near a car wash and garage that the Philadelphia native owns. Harrison was interviewed by police last week about the incident, but he reportedly denied having any involvement with the shooting.

How damaging is this report about the shell casings coming from a gun owned by Harrison?

Law enforcement will argue that this proves definitively that Harrison’s gun was fired during the incident. Given the reported denials from Harrison and his representatives that the gun had been used, this is extremely problematic for Harrison.


If Harrison intentionally lied to the police, that would be very damning. People lie for a reason. Prosecutors argue that any such lie would demonstrate consciousness of guilt.

I'm listening to Rome and there is a woman who wrote an article about how people don't know this guy. I just read days ago..after the report..about the ballboy and autograph incidents. ESPN had run a piece on him..he sits on the bench by himself. He doesn't talk with teammates for the most part. So who knows what makes this guy tick.
