“We’re just waiting to get some more information on the specifics of the injury”.
“We are aware Stedman Bailey was involved in an incident this evening”, the team wrote on a statement posted to its website.
Rams officials believe Bailey will be OK, and the statement released by the team said he was hospitalized in “critical, but stable, condition”.
The team said they had spoken to Bailey and were busy gathering facts and when appropriate would provide updates to the public. The three other passengers in the vehicle, including Reeves’ 5-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, were uninjured, police said.
The shooting occurred in Miami Gardens, where Bailey was sitting in a auto with several people when he was shot, ESPN reported.
St. Louis Rams player, Stedman Bailey, is in stable yet critical condition this morning after sustaining gunshot wounds to the head while in South Florida.
The incident happened in front of a residence in the 19800 block of NW 38th Place.
Fisher said he didn’t anticipate Bailey, who is eligible to return from a suspension in two weeks, would play again this season.
“I saw a whole bunch of shell casings, like 33 shell casing out here”, he said. Even though they both sustained injuries, they were still able to drive themselves to a nearby hospital.
Friends and family members were seen outside the hospital speaking with detectives investigating the case. Police are looking for a light-colored, four-door vehicle, possibly a Buick Regal.
The wide receiver is now serving a four-game suspension from the National Football League for violating the substance abuse policy.
Prior to the 2014 season, Bailey had been suspended as well for violating the league’s policy for performance enhancing drugs.
