A professional basketball player was injured in a shooting in Orange County early Monday morning, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.



The shooting happened at the home of DeShawn Stevenson, a guard with the Washington Wizards, officials said.



The unidentified NBA player suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, authorities said. // Set DC ad positionif(typeof dcadposition == 'undefined')dcadposition = 1;else dcadposition++;if (typeof segQS == 'undefined')segQS='';if (typeof adid == 'undefined')adid='false';// Add code to define sluser true|falsevar SiteLifeUser = (typeof myCookies != 'undefined' && getCookie('HD') != '')?'true':'false';document.write(""); http://altfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/bn/8408-46170-5863-14?mpt=8062426 (http://ad.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh=v8/35b4/3/0/%2a/w%3B117684536%3B3-0%3B0%3B12656209%3B4307-300/250%3B20468176/20486070/1%3B%3B%7Eokv%3D%3Bkw%3Dnews+square+13929862%3Bcom p%3Dfalse%3Bad%3Dtrue%3Bpgtype%3Ddetail%3Bsluser%3 Dfalse%3Bptile%3D3%3Bsz%3D300x250%3B%7Eaopt%3D3/2/72/0%3B%7Esscs%3D%3fhttp://altfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/8408-46170-5863-14?mpt=8062426)on error resume nextFor mp_i=11 To 6 Step -1If Not IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & mp_i)) ThenElse mp_swver=mp_i Exit ForEnd IfNextif ((!document.images && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mozilla/2.") >= 0) || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("WebTV")>= 0) {document.write("");document.write("http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/ibs.orl.news/ (http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/ibs.orl.news/)");}http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/ibs.orl.news/national;kw=news+square+13929862;ad=true;pgtype=de tail;ptile=1;sz=300x250;ord=123456789?

The identity of the shooting suspect was not immediately released, and it's not known if the gunman is in custody.



Stevenson's home is located in a gated community in west Orange County. Investigators said a party was going on at the time of the shooting, and several NBA players were in attendance.

Must have been one hell of a party

[endzone_dave]

Man, the NBA is just about as entertaining off the court as it is on the court. The drama never ends.

[skinsfanevan]

[JyFresh]

Gil was probably at home playing Halo.


My guess; PARTY John Ramos

[REDPepper]

it turned out it wasnt an nba player. guy by the name of curtis ruff.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

The story has been updated. It wasn't a pro basketball player but some random dude named Curtis Ruff or something. Sucks to be him.

[skinsfanno9]

OK, this thread title wins the award for the most scariest thread I've ever visited at ES. Perhaps someone should consider changing the title now that we know Arenas/Deshaun and the rest are still alive?

[ACW]

Well, luckily doesn't seem the guy was injured TOO badly; drove himself to the hospital and wouldn't cooperate :rolleyes:

Stevenson, who has kept a residence in Orlando since leaving the Orlando Magic (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Orlando+Magic?tid=informline) to sign with the Wizards last summer, was at home sleeping when the shooting occurred, according to an incident report.

EDIT: According to THIS, (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider/2007/08/deshawn_update.html) it doesn't seem like DeShawn is to blame here.

[Kevin101]

I blame it on Eddie Jordan

Was DeShawn sleeping? And I didn't know about what was mentioned in the 2nd-to-last paragraph :wtf:

Come on now, Wikipedia's about as reliable as, well, the Wash. Times :laugh:

Its not looking good for the Wiz with this one. Man in Escalade follows Stevenson's party home after the party leaves with some females, Members of the Escalade shoot at Stevenson, no one in Stevensons party was hurt,......the guy in the Escalade goes to the hospital with a gun shot wound, with someones blood on one of Stevenson's cars, yet everyone in the party claims they didnt return fire and ran into the house for cover.

Something doesnt add up.

Here's to the Wiz becoming the Bengals of the NBA.

I like your user name though. :D

[tswing]

I dont think DSS was sleeping.....I think he was out with the guys and they are covering for him.

Why wouldnt you press charges against someone that shot at you/your friends on your property at 2am unless you know the guy?

A guy with 44 priors for drug dealing, etc should be put away for life.
