Holy crap! Sean Taylor shot at his home...

Yeah, I heard that as well. I was confused as to how someone shot in the leg could be in critical condition. I would guess blood loss but I'm no doctor.

i know there are some serious veins/arteries in the legs, but airlifted for a shot in the leg :scratch: my guess would be blood loss as well
 
ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was shot in his Florida home, according to a statement released Monday by the team.

The brief statement from the Redskins said Taylor was undergoing treatment at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida and that the Miami-Dade Police Department was investigating.

According to police, Miami-Dade patrol officers received a call about 1:45 a.m. Monday that a homeowner had been shot in the leg. The homeowners told police they heard intruders at the rear door of the house, trying to pry it open, the Miami Herald reports. The male homeowner went to investiage and when paramedics responded they found the victim with a gunshot wound to the groin.

The 24-year-old Taylor is in his fourth season with the Redskins. He leads the team with five interceptions but has missed the last two games with a knee injury.


:shock:
 
I have been in complete shock for the last hour. I cannot get a damn thing done.

ST was shot twice and apparently one of the bullets hit the femoral artery in his leg. He is fighting for his life in a Miami/Dade hospital. I can't stop thinking about the scene from Black Hawk Down when the kid soldier's femoral artery was obliterated in combat...

All my thoughts and prayers are concentrated towards Sean & his loved ones.

The situation has unfortunately turned too extremely critical. I just heard on our DC sports radio that Sean is in a coma. They got that info from redskins long snapper Ethan Albright. They dont know if it was a medically induced coma or not, but he is in a coma right now. They had to revive him twice this morning.
