|  Taylor Shot
MIAMI -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition after he was shot at his Florida home Monday, police said.
Miami-Dade County police officers were dispatched to Taylor's home at about 1:45 a.m. and found him shot. He was then airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said. He didn't know where on Taylor's body he was shot.
A brief statement from the Redskins said Taylor was undergoing treatment at the Miami hospital and that police were investigating. His family has asked that no information about his condition be released at this point, said hospital spokeswoman Lorraine Nelson.
Taylor has a home in the Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay that he bought for $900,000 two years ago.
The Redskins take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Oddsmakers have the Skins listed as 5 1/2-point favorites.
Taylor, 24, is in his fourth season with the Redskins after playing at the University of Miami, where he was an All-American in 2003. He leads the team with five interceptions but has missed the last two games with a knee injury.
In 2005, Taylor was accused of brandishing a gun at a man and repeatedly hitting him during a fight that broke out after Taylor and some friends went looking for the people who had allegedly stolen his all-terrain vehicles.
Taylor reached a deal with prosecutors last year after they agreed to drop felony charges against him. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in the assault case and was sentenced to 18 months probation.
The man, Ryan Hill, also sued, seeking at least $15,000 in damages. Hill suffered bruising to his body, incurred medical expenses and lost wages because of the fight, the lawsuit said.

Florida shouldn't be one of the United States, it should be another country. |

Watching all of the news this evening, this story is overshadowing all NFL information. Lot of reports that Taylor had cleaned up his act, who are they kidding?. I find it very hard to believe that anyone that cleaned up his act would be living in the #1 urban war zone in America, which is Miami Florida. Guys like Taylor move there because they want to be "in" on all of the action. This is where all of the strongest crime families in America have their HQ. This is where the big money changes hands with the big cargo. And, the police there don't enforce laws, they enforce silence.
Taylor cleaned up his act, and moved to Miami. Yeah right! | |

It's ridiculous that they're calling this a random act of violence. Do you guys see how big this house is? What are the odds that someone that didn't know Taylor could force his way into the house and find the NFL safety's bedroom before the NFL safety found him? I'd say 100-1 against.
It had to be someone that knew exactly which way to go. | |

Lie down with dogs and you had better be ready for fleas. Enough said- Young, well off African American- with gangsta mentality- a shame really. Again, we are back to this standardof conduct thing that people have been preaching about- but you ask majority of inner city youth which is more cool, being a politician, Dr., Teacher, or bling master gang-banger drug dealer- 90% would choose the latter. Even after those youth become successful- shame. | |

BTW, if shot hit femoral artery, it is a wonder he made it to the hospital! It makes me wonder if perhaps it was a type of warning shot gone wrong? Why would someone aim for leg other than to injure? Bet hecould talk and probably did- cops will keep it quiet, as to not scare any suspects off!! | |

Most people dont know how to even shoot guns so who ever it was probably shot and ran and didnt take time to aim, basically got lucky.
Miami is one of the weirdests places I ever lived. Never before have I seen one block be million dollar homes and the next the worst neighborhood. So close together. Most of these guys dont leave the life behind and I am sure he knew the person and they were coming after him for one reason or another | |
