Redskins' Sean Taylor shot at Miami-Dade home

MIAMI (WSVN) -- Sources say Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor is in extremely critical condition after someone shot him at his home early this morning.

Before dawn Monday, Taylor, a former University of Miami football player, was shot in the leg, but the bullet struck the femoral artery, and he has lost a lot of blood.

Circumstances surrounding the shooting haven't been released, but, the Redskins released a statement that said the 24-year-old Taylor was in surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital and that Miami-Dade Police have begun an investigation.

The Washington safety missed his second straight game with a sprained right knee.

The shooting occurred at his home on Old Cutler Road in the southern part of Miami-Dade County.

Taylor is no stranger to trouble as he was involved in an incident when he was charged with assault and simple battery in July of 2005.

WOW

He's a damn good safety, too. I hope he recovers.

[HarveyWallbangers]

That's terrible. One of the top few safeties in the NFL.

[MJZiggy]

That is terrible, but I can't help but wonder...what was he doing in Miami? Shouldn't he have been in Washington?

I hope he makes it.

[Carolina_Packer]

Man, that's just a shame. I hope he makes a full recovery.

[The Leaper]

Strange. Wish him well, but how the hell does a guy with coin like that get shot for no good reason? He has to live in a high end neighborhood and have a lot of security.

Sounds like either a domestic dispute that got out of hand or someone in his posse got trigger happy or forgot to put on the safety.

I hope he makes it.

He was getting a second opinion on his knee.

Also, the redskins were in Tampa Bay sunday.

[MJZiggy]

Thank you. That makes sense. Now if you can tell me why someone thought he'd make a good bullet receptacle that would be good too...

He was in Miami to get a second opinion on his injury. Possibly went to Miami following the game yesterday in Tampa. A robbery in his house? There were similar incidents over the summer with a couple of NBA players. One in the Chicago area I believe. Hope this isn't some sick trend......but it's starting to look like it is.

Does indeed look like a home invasion .

Police and family are being very quiet on specific details. Current reports are that he had to be revived twice during surgery and now he is in a coma. It's not known whether or not the coma is medically induced.

It's a really sad day. Hang in there Sean.

First reports said it was a groin wound. I was thinking it was a Lorenna Bobbit type issue. The fact that the police are tight lipped makes me think they know who it was and will be making an arrest soon.

Too bad. Kid was really starting to make a name for himself on the football field.

[Tarlam!]

Oh man, I hate this type of shit happening.

Like mmmdk always says "peace".

It was an armed robbery....how does Bobbit fit in?

[Guiness]

I hear what y'all are saying, and I feel bad for him, but this is hardly the first time this guy has seen trouble.

Not a Pac-Man type, but reveled in his 'gangsta' persona. We'll see what comes of it, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear he was shot with one of his own gun. He's been up on gun charges before - so although not a PacMan, maybe closer to Tank. Either way, Cinnicinati really whiffed by not drafting him.
