Sad if you like football because Sean Taylor was a fantastic free safety. He was great to watch, but he had some problems off the field. Apparently he was shot by an "intruder", but how does a burgular sneak into an affluent residence, especially when it happened just 8 days previously? Where are the watch dogs, alarms systems?

What I am saying is it sounds to me like there is more to the story, like a family member, former friend or girlfriend was involved.

"According to a preliminary investigation, it appears that the victim was shot inside the home by an intruder," Miami-Dade County police said in a statement. "We do not have a subject description at this time."

But police were still investigating the attack, which came just eight days after an intruder was reported at Taylor's home.

crazy shit. I agree with longhorn.....sounds like there is more to this story. Why would a burglar go right into his bedroom and shoot him. Usually most burglars just want to rob not kill you. And usually if there is a killing its because of a confrontation. There was no confrontation since he was in his bed when he got shot.

someone leaving a knife on his bed 8 days earlier?? Sounds like someone was intentionally messing with him.

It's a shame no matter what. Sucks how a couple of bad decisions can come back at you. Or even one.

Without having read all the details, my initial reaction was those NFL/NBA thugs and their pussies/posse's have been shooting at the public a la Pac Man (that little cock sucker had a Vegas bar shot up paralyzing a bouncer from the waist down, this was after he personally beat a couple of women and was 86'd), so it seems poetic that they start getting hit back.
