Randall Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 "Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible tragedy," Saccomano said. My feelings exactly. Unbelieivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryTheRock Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Wow! You know, the little tidbit about the Broncos losing to the Niners hours before seems a little irrelevent. I guess it is a sports article on a sports webpage. Crazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockerbraves Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Can someone please explain the purpose in a drive by shooting? Is it usually done completely random or is it directed at people the shooter intends to kill? Like the old gangsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Can someone please explain the purpose in a drive by shooting? Is it usually done completely random or is it directed at people the shooter intends to kill? Like the old gangsters... Both Usually random for gang initiation purposes. Used as a "message" sent to a specific target or group. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Why is it , some of these athletes find themselves in these situations? A Limo getting peppersprayed with bullets................where in the world is this crap happening at, what provoke it? Rich athletes with guns and getting killed in drive bys, shouldn't they be fine dining instead of gangster busting or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Both Usually random for gang initiation purposes. Used as a "message" sent to a specific target or group. RIP Yeah and sometimes an innocent guy is just in the wrong place. Look at mafia shootings in Capone's time. These days gangs do many of the same things.

SteelBunz Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Tragic.....and my first thoughts were totally different in this case, TOS. I applauded that he took a limo.....not try to drive himself and guests around. Unfortunately.....that may have made him a bigger target. Most of the time....I'm with Parcells in his statement "Nothing good ever happens at 3am." But...the Broncos had a late game. Last game of the season.....AND it WAS NYE. So I expect there were a LOT of people still out at 3am in Denver. Not just athletes or thugs. Given the statistical spike in spousal abuse calls after Denver losses.....my first thought was a disgruntled fan targeting a limo or following them from a club. The story is still young.....but there's NO evidence he was doing anything wrong at all. Senseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roustabout Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Very sad news. He was one of our best players and also one of the most well-liked by players and fans.
