ESPN.com is reporting that Dallas Cowboys’ safety Keith Davis is in stable condition after the 27-year old was shot twice while driving on a Dallas highway Sunday.
Davis was reportedly struck in the back of the head and in the right thigh by an unknown driver at around 5 a.m. Sunday morning.
Apparently, this wasn’t the first time that Davis has been shot.
This is the second time in three years that Davis has been shot. He was an innocent bystander last time, and this time Stephens said the player was driving home from a family vacation.
In June 2003, Davis was shot in the hip and elbow while picking up a friend at a topless club. Coach Bill Parcells released Davis about a month later, on the first day of the coach’s first training camp with the Cowboys. Davis did not play football that season, but rejoined the club in 2004 and became a full-time starter last season.
How in God’s green earth can a guy be shot two times in three years and not be involved in any trouble to warrant the bullets? That has got to be as hard to do as getting struck by lightening doesn’t it?
One of the other amazing things from this story is that Davis’ agent said that if the Cowboys’ training camp started tomorrow, his client would be there. I don’t know how you rebound from being shot in the back of the head, but hey, I guess Davis is experienced in this sort of injury.
Hopefully Davis recovers without any serious damage.
