FluffHead Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 ESPN is reporting Marvin Harrison was involved in a shooting outside his Philadelphia bar Tuesday night. A man was shot with a gun registered to Marvin. I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more about this soon. Sorry, no link yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deep2evans Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just watched the story break on ESPN. How friggin bizarre. Anyone else catch that part where witnesses claimed Harrison beat the guy up pretty badly and has "hands like a ninja"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Another reason to stay out of North Philadelphia. Anyway, ESPN just said that Harrison was involved in a fight at a bar he owns in North Philly, some guy who they have had a history of trouble with got in a fight with Harrison in the bar. Things went outside, and according to the other guy, it was OK Corral time. Apparently Harrison has a .50 caliber handgun(holy crap) and shot this guy in the hand. Harrison told the police that he was in a fight and that he heard gun shots, but didn't say he was the shooter. They found the .50 at a carwash that Harrison owns 3 blocks away. The law in PA says that the owner of a gun is automatically charged with a misdemeanor if it is used in a crime. Apparently Harrison has a carry permit and had 25 registered weapons, and they tested the the one they found and it came up positive. The rest of it sounded too fuzzy to me, but there is definitely something serious happening with Marvin Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 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 Belgium weapon, and police determined that Harrison owned such a gun. He definitely did it. Marvin Harrison is very boring and it makes sense he would be attracted to a gun made by a Belgium company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Why would someone with his money be hanging out in North Philly? I have no idea. Seriously none.

OCinBuffalo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Did you buy the "I went to Kensington and survived" t-shirt to commemorate your visit? No because I had no interest in pulling out my wallet or showing any cash whatsoever. I was dropping off a moving van. My buddy was waiting in his car and he said people on the street started looking at him like a mark. When I cam out he's like: "get in" and then it was Dukes of Hazard out of there. I still don't think it was a big deal but he swears we were about 5 minutes away from a real problem. Regardless, there is literally no reason to go there, for anything. Kinda like Camden, except I used to go over their for concerts once in a while, ferry was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 If this turns out bad for Marvin, let's at least be thankful that it was Marvin Harrison and NOT someone like Vince Wilfork. Hell, if Wilfork shot someone, Goodell would be forced to fine him something like thirty seven bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Wuss. That's fine. But consider this: my buddy is 6' 5" and usually around 300lbs, although he said he lost weight(BS ). I have never seen him scared like that, so I dunno. I have certainly seen him whip a lot of ass, usually standing right next to him, so something must have been up.

Got_Wood Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I wouldn't jump to any conclusions here. First of all, he owned the bar. So, he has the right to protect his property. This guy may have been threatening him or his customers. Second of all, this sound like it's straight out of the movie Casino! I love it. He was just takin' care of business like DeNiro. In all seriousness though, wait for the facts to come out. The media always jumps on to stories and portrays someone as guilty before the case has been decided in court.

The media has nothing on the criminal justice experts right here at TSW. It's our own private Law & Order. Everything should be wrapped up by page 5 of the thread.

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. This is the part that is troubling...although, this all depends on the word of an unknown source: 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.

shrader Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Did I hear things on sportscenter correctly? Did the guy that was shot at have a ridiculously colorful criminal record? It sounded like he's the kind of guy who is a bit more likely to be shot at. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy laid out some very serious threats.
