According to multiple sources, including our own Hogs Haven, Washington Redskins Safety Sean Taylor was shot, possibly twice, at his home in Florida during an apparent home invasion.
According to ESPN.COM --
The Miami Herald reported paramedics found Taylor with a gunshot wound to the groin. A family friend who did not want to be identified told ABC-TV 10 in Miami that Taylor was shot twice.
A brief statement from the Redskins said Taylor was undergoing treatment at the Miami hospital and that police were investigating. His family has asked that no information about his condition be released at this point, said hospital spokeswoman Lorraine Nelson.
Taylor has a home in the Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay that he bought for $900,000 two years ago.
Taylor, 24, is in his fourth season with the Redskins after playing at the University of Miami, where he was an All-American in 2003. He leads the team with five interceptions but has missed the last two games with a knee injury.
Knowing first hand about a tragedy such as this, our thoughts are with Taylor, his family, the Redskins and their fans.
