Colts' Marvin Harrison Under Investigation for Philadelphia Shooting

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison is under investigation for a shooting in his hometown of Philadelphia, according to reports on Friday.

The shooting reportedly occurred early Tuesday afternoon outside of a North Philadelphia bar co-owned by Harrison.

Harrison has yet to be arrested or charged with the crime.

The source said the alleged victim came into the bar, Playmakers, around 5 p.m. and engaged in an argument with Harrison, who was at the bar. After leaving the bar, the victim headed to his car as Harrison followed.

Gunfire broke out and the victim was hit in the hand, while a young girl was slightly injured by flying glass from a car that apparently was hit by a bullet.

Police came to scene of the crime, but the victim did not identify a shooter. Based on the balistics of the bullet, police determined that the shots were fired by a custom-made Belgian weapon.

Police then then went to a Philadelphia car wash owned by Harrison to question him about the gun. Harrison admitted owning such a weapon, but claimed that it never left his suburban Philadelphia home.

However, the source said the gun was discovered in a bucket at the car wash, and tests showed that it had fired seven bullets that matched those found at the scene.
