Sal Paolantonio of ESPN is reporting that Philadelphia police examined bullet holes in two residences today when they returned to the scene of an April 29 shooting allegedly involving Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison.
The report says that police returned to the scene of the crime after getting new information from a third victim of the shooting. On Saturday the Philadelphia Daily News reported that detectives were searching for someone who had contacted them and said he was shot by Harrison.
The two previously identified victims were a 32-year-old man shot in the hand and a 2-year-old boy injured by broken glass.
Per Paolantonio, police have determined that six bullet casings recovered from the crime scene came from a gun that belongs to Harrison.

obviously Marvin is another guy who thinks the laws do not apply to him. Has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment.

Self Defense My Ass. How can some on here say it sounded like Self defense when accounts say Harrison followed the guy out of the bar? I guess he did not take the gun out there with a purpose. SOunds like the other guy might have a self defense claim if he were prosecuted but Harrison seems to have had the intention in popping a cap in some Killadelphia area guys ass. Marvin Harrison for Mayor of Killadelphia!

Breaking News………..
The Fabrique Nationale 5.7 .50 caliber weapon custom built for Marvin Harrison, had a casting problem with it’s grip and does not fit Harrison’s hand. Minutes after the news broke, OJ called Marvin and told him, “If the grip don’t fit, they must acquit”

Hmmmm I wonder what Saint Dungy has to say about this….
Tis a sad, sad, day for the NFL.
We’ll see if Goodell and his best buddy Polian sweep this one under the rug. It’ll be tricky, but if anyone can do it, they can.
After all, they were able to do it with the pumped in sound at the RCA Dome.

If it ends up that Harrison shot somebody (except for in self defense, which appears highly unlikely here), I don’t see how the league can not suspend him for a year, even if he somehow escapes jail time.

Days after the fact a third person comes forward to say they were shot AND they specifically name Harrison? Hmm…
It’s either damning evidence or someone shamelessly jumping on the bandwagon. Take your pick.

If Harrison has good lawyers, he will probably beat it if they decide to press charges. If the shootings happened at night, it’s hard to identify someone clearly. Bullet holes from his gun in a house mean nothing if there was no one can put him at the scene at the time of the shooting. Then the victims’ past is going to come into play so they have to be squeaky clean. I’m not defending the guy, just bringing up some things that will inevitably be brought up if this matter is pursued.
Just a quick question: Is it only me, or would you like to see the police show the same effort given for the random joe who is murdered that they give to a cop that is murdered? A life is a life right?

What plane is everyone from? If someone gets shot, and doesn’t report it to the police - it’s probably because they were doing something illegal when they got shot.

Now that we know that the Bullets did indeed come from Harrison’s gun I am outraged. With the limited amount of positive athlete role models in this world, Marvin used to be one of the few. There was a point in time when we could look to Harrison to provide a positive image for youngsters in urban settings. Especially in Philadelphia where Marvin grew up. But now we can’t even do that. I understood Pacman Jones and Chris Henry, those two were trouble from day one. But Marvin has always stayed away from trouble, that is until now. The fact that the bullets came from his gun have tarnished his positive image forever.

“What plane is everyone from? If someone gets shot, and doesn’t report it to the police - it’s probably because they were doing something illegal when they got shot.”
Does it matter? A crime is a crime and 2 negatives don’t make a positive. He ran out with a gun chasing a guy that got shot by his gun. Hmmm.

“Bullet holes from his gun in a house mean nothing if there was no one can put him at the scene at the time of the shooting.”
Didn’t a whole bar full of people see him argue with the guy and follow him out ? I’d say he was pretty conclusively at the scene.

It’s time for the CBA to have a clause that players can’t own bars - for their own sake. Liquor and guns don’t mix. Harrison’s career is most likely dead and it seems that jail time is a real possibility. Sorry to hear that Harrison was involved. I thought he was the consummate pro on and off the field. Obviously he had issues that either he and/or the Colts hid well.

I find it enteraining how so many have rushed to defend Harrison. I’m curious, do they know him personally? Just because the guy was rather reserved on the field and in front of fans, says nothing about what his life outside of football is like. His rep is forever ruined with this, even if he didn’t pull the trigger. The fact it’s his gun says enough to me that he’s just as much a thug as some of these other players who make headlines. I have no problem with people owning firearms, but why does he have it with him at his restaurant? Looks like Torry Holt is the only elite receiver left with any sort of face anymore.

Why is everyone talking about what a good guy Harrison was, and how this is disappointing? Harrison has a history of being a turd, but people never called him on it because he was quiet on the field.

so i guess this ends the chance of any future trade to the iggles. Marvin and Mcnabb would have been a perfect duo, two syracuse, two quiet guys, guys that always had critics, imagine them together, i still believe mcnabb would have at least 2 superbowl rings if he had harrison or moulds in the prime of their careers.

Do you know what is infinitely more worse than this incident? The fact that Leonard Little has killed someone while driving drunk, and he, to my knowledge, didn’t serve any jail time, and was not suspended by the league. And no one even brings this up when they talk about him. It should be brought up everytime the guy plays and he should be the most hated guy in the league.
