On the field, Colts’ receiver Marvin Harrison who, despite being injured most of last season, caught 20 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown, plus his 1, 366 yards and 12 touchdowns he raked in, helping lead Indiana to Super Bowl victory in 2006. Off the field, however, Harrison has a different kind of record to worry about.
As the ESPN reports:
Indianapolis Colts star receiver Marvin Harrison was interviewed by police about a shooting near his North Philadelphia car wash this week. Lt. Frank Vanore said the investigation of Tuesday’s shooting was continuing. Harrison has not been arrested or charged.
“He was interviewed,” Vanore said Friday. “Why he was interviewed, that is all part of the investigation. No one is a suspect.”
Vanore told WCAU-TV the shooting occurred near 25th and Thompson streets, near a car wash owned by Harrison and about a half-mile from a bar also owned by the All-Pro receiver.
Earlier, radio station WIP, citing unidentified sources, reported the alleged shooting victim argued with Harrison at Playmakers bar. The victim left and headed to his car, Harrison followed and gunfire broke out, the station reported. The alleged victim was shot in the hand and did not identify the shooter, according to the radio station.
While it doesn’t seem like much, being questioned for a shooting, especially as a high-profile figure, has a way of sticking with you for a long time to come. I’m not saying he did or didn’t shoot anybody. I’m saying everyone, for some reason, already believes he did. That’s just the nature of greatness in America: We love you when you’re up, but at the first sign of foul play, we toss you to the dogs. And by “toss” I mean you shoot somebody.
