Houston Texans star wide receiver Tank Dell among 10 people shot at Florida venue by 16-year-old
A 16-year-old boy opened fire at a party near Sanford, Florida on early Sunday, injuring at least 10 people, including NFL player Tank Dell. The suspect was quickly taken into custody.
Texans wide receiver Tank Dell was shot Saturday night, sustaining minor wounds in Florida as a victim and innocent bystander in a mass shooting.
Tank has already been released from the hospital, and is expected to make a full recovery. Dell was not involved in the altercation but was caught in the crossfire.
The incident happened shortly after midnight while deputies were heading to Cabana Live, where officers were planning to conduct an area patrol because the venue was hosting a large crowd.
Cabana Live is an event venue and restaurant at 4380 Carraway Place in unincorporated Sanford, about 18 miles north of Orlando. A private party was taking place at the time of the incident.
Dell was a big-time player for the Texans last year, and should make a full recovery
