Richard Collier of Jacksonville Jaguars was Shot
September 2nd, 2008
Richard Collier, offensive tackle of the Jacksonville Jaguars was shot and critically wounded earlier today sustaining life threatening injuries.
26 year old Richard Collier and his buddy Kenneth Pettway, who’s former defenseman for the Jacksonville Jaguars were waiting for some hos in a Cadillac Escalade when a gunman appeared form out of nowhere and opened fire at the guys inside the car. According to preliminary reports, Richard Collier was shot several times, however it was not specified where the shots hit him.
Shands Jacksonville Medical Center accepted Richard Collier in a critical condition but refused to provide updates on his condition to the media (perhaps a family request). Wayne Weaver, owner of Jacksonville Jaguars issued a statement in which he said that Richard Collier is in critical, but stable condition.
Motives behind shooting are unknown, but the police are investigating and hopefully there will be an update soon. It looks like the attack was particularly targeting Richard Collier, as Kenneth Pettway who was in a car with Richard was not injured.
Richard Collier is the third NFL star shot in the past 18 months. Sean Taylor of Washington Redskins was fatally shot by burglars who wanted to rob his house in Miami area and Darrent Williams of Denver Broncos was killed in drive by shooting.
