Alabama's Deaderick released from hospital after shooting - Sep 02, 2009 | 13:18:14

Brandon Deaderick, the defensive lineman from Alabama who was hospitalized after being shot during an attempted robbery, has been released from DCH Regional Medical Center. Admitted for less than 24 hours, the bullet reportedly pierced the senior's forearm and ricocheted into his hip. It is still unclear when Deaderick will return to the starting lineup, a spot he held in all 14 games last year. Head coach Nick Saban released a statement Tuesday saying, "our concern at this time is for Brandon's continued recovery as our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, not about when he will return to football." 
CommentsI was shocked and appaled when I saw the attack of one NCAA football player on another on television this morning. As a past law enforcement officer, I can tell you this can be classifed as a felony assault. If the blow had landed in the temple area of the young man hit, we would probably be praying for him to recover right now. This behavior cannot be tolerated by the NCAA. Please insure this incident is handled with the highest level of penalty you can bring to bear. If you don't get a handle on this behavior early, more incidents are invited because there aren't any penalties to fear by those commiting the infraction. Post a Comment |
  
I'm happy to say that I have Mr. Brand's signature on my diploma from IU. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
