Texans third-round rookie sensation Tank Dell found himself the victim in a public mass shooting Saturday night at a Sanford, Florida, nightclub, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. The 24-year-old has reportedly already been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.
Dell, a Daytona Beach native, was back in his hometown this weekend visiting his mother. Dell was apparently uninvolved in the shooting incident at Cabana Live but was caught in the resulting crossfire. Ten civilians, including Dell, suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the altercation, and Florida police took a 16-year-old suspect into custody after the shooting.
Dell had already been in the process of making a comeback from football-related injuries. The rookie standout missed the Texans’ final seven contests, including two postseason matchups, after suffering a fractured fibula. He underwent surgery to repair the fibula and has since made strides in his recovery.
Recently, Dell took part in Houston’s offseason conditioning program. He even participated in extra throwing sessions with fellow rookie standout quarterback C.J. Stroud, as well as extra training sessions with NFL trainer Justin Allen and private coach Delfonte Diamond.
Dell had previously told the media that he would be ready to participate in organized team activities when they start up in May. It’s unclear if this weekend’s incident will do anything to alter that timeline, but regardless, Dell is expected to make a full recovery and shouldn’t be affected by his injuries in the long term.
Omg I’m glad no one was killed. Smh this is insane
Ban idiots!
Which idiot do you want to ban? The 16 yo kid?
Sure
Make an example out of this kid. 16 years old pulled out a gun and shoots into a crowd of people. At 16 you know right from wrong make an example throw the book at this sociopath
Or maybe enforce stricter fire arm laws. Not bans, but stricter laws and regulations with stricter penalties for not abiding by such laws.
Yeah that’ll help smh
Cause criminals won’t find a way to get a gun illegally, stricter penalties would at least be a deterrent
Pretty sure it’s already illegal for 16 yr old to be at a club, with a loaded gun.
16 year old not allowed to be in a club, nor own a handgun under 21 years old…When will people learn ‘stricter’ firearms laws doesn’t mean anything when criminals don’t care about those laws. What you really mean is ‘Ban’ when you say that, and the criminals not caring still applies the same.
Some states, like Texas for example, do not require paperwork, etc for a resale of a gun. If the gun is sold and let’s say used in a murder, the original owner would not be liable, but most likely asked if they sold the firearm to that individual. I collect them, but realize this is an issue across the country and wouldn’t be opposed to a database tracking people who own what and who can buy. The lack of a background check for a resale is concerning.
Yeah this 16 year old should have filled out paperwork and passed a background check. Then the government could have tracked him in the database.
Eh, it was sarcasm.
Yeah they should pass a law that makes it illegal to shoot people too.
Criminals will ALWAYS get them. ALWAYS.
except criminals dont follow laws, hence the name “criminal”.
Teenagers these days, man
Well a lot of them get nothing than even remotely resembles responsible parenting…so this is the often the result you get from that.
Thoughts and prayers. There, problem fixed.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Our Founding Fathers understood that angry losers have a God given right to take as many of us as they can with them.
We must respect that.
Man you really stuck it to those constitution lovers.
There is a culture problem in America.
All cultures have problems. It’s up to the people to work together and not devolve into chaos like Penix at 8 or whatever the Jaguars draft was.
Every year something like this in the NFL, routinely. Why o oh this sport?
“Can’t we all just get along ?” A good many teenagers today need a foot up their ass.
