Just on ESPN, Drive-by shooting of the Limo he was in. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2716385 DENVER -- Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in downtown Denver early Monday morning, police said. Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. Mountain Time from the scene of the shooting and told him three people had been shot and that Williams had been killed. Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization. "Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible tragedy," Saccomano said. Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said that a little after 2 a.m., the white Hummer limousine that Williams and two others were traveling in was sprayed with bullets from a vehicle that came up along its side. All three people in the limousine were hit. They were taken to area hospitals, where Williams was pronounced dead. The other victims, a male and a female, were not identified. Hours before the shooting, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime, eliminating them from the playoff race. Williams, a second-round pick in the 2005 draft out of Oklahoma State, started nine games as a rookie due to injuries. This season, he took over as the starter for Lenny Walls alongside Champ Bailey, and was second on the team with four interceptions and tied for third with 86 tackles. On Sunday against the 49ers, he had a sack, a forced fumble, and led the team with seven sacks. Jackson said police were searching for the suspects and interviewing witnesses.

Wow...what a shocking story. That guy was one helluva CB. Hate to see these players continue to show that nothing good happens after 2:00 am. RIP
OK, I'm totally stunned by the news. I just would like to point out that you can't celebrate an occasion such as New Years Eve anymore without the chance of being shot and killed or blown up by terrorists. Any of you who don't think the world has changed and gotten worse over the last 30 years must be crazy. Remember our old argument? I really think people are in denial about how bad this world has gotten If you haven't guessed by now I am a Bronco fan and quite pissed off right now. What a way to start off the New Year. May the bastard who is responsible for doing this get whats coming to him. I hope he was a Bronco fan!
ESPN says Javon Walker (from St Thomas More HS) was in the Humvee with Williams. They also reported that there was a "confrontation" at a night club that led to the drive-by. Whatever happened to settling things with your fists?
I feel a little better about this since I found out more information. I was under the impression this was a drive by shooting. We've had a few of those in Denver from time to time. May god bless Darrent Williams, he will be missed as a person first and a player second! Fists? There are not many real men left just thugs!
Carmelo used his fist. Then he backpeddled like a little B to avoid the wrecking ball that he was going to receive in return. I stand firmly behind your thug statement. Its pathetic.
