Personally, I hope this is a mistake. I hope Marvin was not involved. He seems like a pretty stand-up guy to me. News reports on ESPN TV state that his custom-made gun was used in the shooting and the Marvin says that said firearm never leaves his home. But it was found in a bucket at his carwash. Make one wonder…

Glad he ain’t a Patriot! We’d NEVER hear the end of it!!

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison is under investigation in his hometown of Philadelphia in a shooting that took place earlier this week, a source close to the investigation told Anthony Gargano of Philadelphia's WIP Radio. The shooting reportedly occurred early Tuesday afternoon outside a North Philadelphia bar owned by Harrison.

Harrison has yet to be arrested or charged with the crime. Police spokesman Sgt. Ray Evers had no comment Friday.

Randy Moss is a saint compared to this gun runner.

I don't recall hearing attempted murder mentioned in the same sentence with Moss.
----------------------------------------------
The source said the alleged victim came into the bar, Playmakers, around 5 p.m. and engaged in an argument with Harrison, who was at the bar. The victim then left the bar, heading to his car, with Harrison following. Gunfire broke out, the victim was hit in the hand, and a young girl was slightly injured by flying glass from a car that apparently was hit by a bullet.

Police came to scene, but the victim did not identify a shooter. On Wednesday, according to the source, ballistic tests showed that the gun that had fired the shots was a custom-made Belgian weapon, and police determined that Harrison owned such a gun. A source told ESPN.com's John Clayton that the gun is registered.

Police then went to a Philadelphia car wash owned by Harrison to question him about the gun. Harrison admitted owning such a weapon, but claimed it never left his suburban Philadelphia home.

I honestly hope he is not involved but, if the reports are accurate, it was his custom-made firearm that was used to shot the guy with whom Marvin was having a disagreement.

Seriously, I have heard, as I am sure we all have, so many good things about Marvin Harrison. I hope he isn't the one who did this. If he happens to be the guy, I wonder what pushed him to this.

This isn't Marvin's first incident. Marvin has a history, it's just not a story the media has latched onto. profootballtalk.com is running with this. I recommend this site to any pro football fan who likes daily detailed reports on the goings on in the NFL. They're kind of the TMZ of pro football but they're dead on most of the time and they break stories that the mainstream sports media typically doesn't touch. Here are a few things on Marvin from PFT.com

Metal, those are interesting articles. Thanks for the links and thanks for hooking me up with PFT!

When Scottie Pippen was a Chi-town Bull, he got caught with a gun in his car in the city.

Chicago is a city that prohibits handgun ownership (Illinois is one of two states left in the Union that do not allow CCW permits for its citizens).

Steve Dahl, a local radio talk show guy, did a parody of the event to Aerosmith's "Jamie's got a gun".

Pretty funny at the time.

No problem. The "Daily Rumor Mill" is where all the best stuff is on PFT.com.

After hearing for the past few years how quiet and full of character he is, this is quite interesting. Good find.

Didn't Randy Moss drag a female cop with a car could be a lie but, I could consider that as attempted murder =/

Never mind I was wrong he only bumped her this was taken from Wixipedia.

Traffic incident
On September 24, 2002 in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, Moss was driving and was preparing to make an illegal turn. A traffic control officer, noticing what he was about to do, stood in front of his car, ordering him to stop. Eyewitness accounts of the event differ at this point, but Moss did not comply with the officer's order, and she was bumped by his vehicle and fell to the ground. Moss was arrested, and a search of his vehicle revealed a small amount of marijuana.[23] Initially charged with felony Suspicion of Assault with a Deadly Weapon and a misdemeanor marijuana possession, Moss pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor traffic violation and was ordered to pay a $1,200 fine and perform 40 hours of community service.[24]

So why is it that when the news is about a non-Patriot, y'all try to shift the discussion back to the evil Patriots. I think it is funny as hell! The Patriots must be the NFL's version of President Bush!

Maybe the New England Patriots are involved in 9/11 and the collapse of Tower Seven!

Tell Patriot fans not to compare the superstar WR on the Patriots to the superstar WR on the Colts legal record and it probably wont happen. I am guessing you read all of the posts.. Shua_b after your original post mentioned it.

Wow, that is the best you can come up with? He bumped a cop with his car, he didn't pull out a gun, aim it at someone, and start shooting. Moss was charged with a misdemeanor. Small stuff compared to what Harrison allegedly did.

If you read my original post, I incorrectly put he had dragged a cop with his car. Then I corrected it using the Wixi read it all please.

And like you said Harrison only allegedly did it. Moss did do it. If you think you doing the same thing to a cop as Moss did would be considered small stuff I highly doubt you'd see his same fate.

Are you talking to me in this post? If so, I read the whole post and I responded with "he bumped a cop" just like the article said. Why don't you try reading the posts.

You're right, I said allegedly because it is still under investigation. Therefore, allegedly would be the proper term. The article says he BUMPED an officer with his car. It also says eye witness accounts differ so unless you were there, you have no idea what really happened. You don't know the circumstances behind the incident so if all I did was bump someone with a car, yeah, I would imagine I could see his same fate. Especially given the eyewitnesses couldn't agree. Thanks for your input though Robert Shapiro.

What I mean is the whole is this all you could come up with was a pointless post because I was just correcting the rumor I remember hearing.

Like every celebrity eye witness accounts will differ. I tend to want to believe a cop over a druggy in this situation, I don't know about you.

Because there is no such thing as a corrupt cop. I am sure many cops would be tempted to exaggerate a little during a situation involving a high profile celebrity.
