NFL Star Sean Taylor Dies

[tag]Washington Redskins[/tag]‘ [tag]Sean Taylor[/tag] Dies After Shooting.  That’s the headline I saw this morning when I opened my browser. 

 Apparently, an intruder broke into Taylor’s home in the early hours of the morning and shot Taylor while he was in bed.  The strangest part to me about the shooting is that he was shot in the leg.  This is the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone being fatally shot in the leg.  According to the reports, the bullet pierced a major artery in his leg and he died from excessive loss of blood.

Sean Taylor sounds like he used to be somewhat of a jerk.  He was obnoxious on the football field, was fined several times by the NFL for a variety of infractions, and was even in bar fights.  However, his teammates all claim that he had recently turned his life and his attitude around when his baby daughter was born.  He became very responsible and respectful even which makes his death even more sad.

It will be interesting to follow this story and find out who the shooter was and why he broke into Taylor’s home.  No one deserves this and I send my thoughts and prayers to his family.
