Anthony Gargano of WIP in Philadelphia joined ESPN with breaking news of Marvin Harrison being involved in a shooting outside of a bar he owns in Philadelphia. The details are still a little sketchy, but this comes as shocking news considering Harrison’s quiet demeanor. The following information is provided by Anthony Gargano:
Tuesday at 5 (p.m.?) a patron came into Harrison’s establishment, Playmakers, in North Philadelphia. The man had been a problem customer in the past. At some point a fist-fight broke out between Marvin Harrison and the customer. The customer left the building and Marvin Harrison followed him. At that point gunfire was exchanged, and one man was grazed in the hand, one man was shot in the shoulder, and a little girl was hit by shattered glass.
Gargano used the term “Harrison used the gun” to describe the shooting. When pressed about the word “used” by ESPN he said that the police are waiting for witnesses to come forward and place Harrison as the shooter.
The police went to a car wash owned by Harrison the following day and found a .50 caliber gun in a bucket. Ballistics tests showed the gun had been fired seven times recently. Harrison and his attorney met with Philadelphia police on Wednesday, where Harrison admitted to the fight and the gunfire, but said he was not the shooter. Even if Harrison is not the shooter, there is a law in Pennsylvania that the owner of a gun used in a crime can be charged. It is believed that police are getting things in order before arresting Marvin Harrison.
As I said at the top, the details are still a little sketchy so I’ll update this as more information becomes available.
1ST UPDATE: Philly Police Speak on Marvin Harrison
The police version differs slightly from Anthony Gargano’s story. Gargano joined ESPN’s Sportscenter and said the shooting took place in the middle of the street of a residential neighborhood and that the man that was shot in the hand didn’t not ID Marvin Harrison as the shooter. No word on the second shooting victim.
