NFL Star Taylor Dies After Gunshot

Sean Taylor, the Washington Redskins safety who was shot early Monday at his home in Miami, has died, according to a family friend. He was just 24.

The Pro Bowl safety had taken a bullet in his upper leg, reports the AP, damaging an artery, causing serious blood loss and loss of consciousness. According to his former lawyer, Richard Sharpstein, Taylor seemed to show signs of recovery when he squeezed a nurse's hand late Monday night, but never regained consciousness thereafter.

Miami-Dade Police are investigating the attack, which occurred when an intruder apparently entered Taylor's home, in what the cops are considering a possibly burglary.

151. You are right Anne. We as blacks do need to hold a mirror to ourselves and hold everyone accountable.

I have no idea if it was black on black crime or not, but many will assume that it is.

I am watching the news daily, I really hope they catch the person who did this. It was just wrong all the way around.

153. You know, for all of you who are so negative and want to label a person a thug and say that he died the life that he lived, you can talk only because you are the ones who don't get arrested when you break the law. The favorite saying for your group is "boy will be boys" and you know exactly who I am talking to. If you had been held or arrested for all the crimes that you have done, of course the jails would be more intergrated. Look in the mirror before you down someone you know nothing about. JUST ME

154. This post is for #12 the one that said you if you live the life of a thug......
Just wanted to know why you said that he was a thug.....there were 3 charged and 1 almost charged fools that broke into this man's home to rob him...they didnt expect him there...they were startled and reacting foolishly taking this mans life.

So, If some young misled idiots break into my house to rob me that makes me a thug or wanna be thug? I'm confused, please help me understand..
