Jacksonville Jaguars Player Shot

Hey this is Derek with my first post.


Richard Collier, Jacksonville's offensive tackle was shot early Tuesday morning outside an apartment building. He was waiting for two women he and a former Jacksonville player had met that night at a nightclub. Police were alerted to a shooting that took place early in the morning and when they arrived they found Collier in the front seat of his Escalade with several gunshot wounds. It is not clear to the press where he was hit. It is not clear when he is expected to return to the game and will be missed by his team mates. Richard Collier is the third NFL player who has been shot in the last 18 months. Sean Taylor of the washington Redskins wass shot and killed during a burglary attempt on his house, and Darrent Williams of the Denver Broncos was killed in a shooting out side a Denver club.
