Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison is under investigation in his hometown of Philadelphia for a shooting that took place earlier this week.
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.
A source told WIP radio the alleged victim came into the bar, Playmakers, around 5PM. 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.
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.
However, the source said the gun was discovered in a bucket at the car wash, and tests showed that it had fired seven bullets that matched those found at the scene.
Marvin’s in a shitload of trouble. Maybe he never fully recovered from that knee injury last season and sees the writing on the wall, career-wise.
Harrison has always seemed like a good guy…but you never know with these athletes. We thought OJ was innocent at first, too.
