Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was shot and critically wounded early this morning at his South Florida home, according to Miami-Dade Police and the team. The fourth-year pro was gravely hurt after an intruder shot him in the leg, piercing a major artery and causing massive blood loss, according to a Taylor attorney and family friend. Richard Sharpstein, an attorney and family friend of Taylor's, told several media outlets that the player was shot by an intruder who entered the house and encountered Taylor in a hallway outside one of the bedrooms. "It was clearly a burglary, an armed burglary," Sharpstein said. Teammates at Redskin Park in Ashburn confirmed reports that Taylor was out of surgery but still in critical condition. www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071126/SPORTS01/71126002/1005

In a sad update to this story, Taylor has died this morning due to lack of blood flow to the brain. This was caused by trauma to the femoral artery in his leg from the gun shot wound.
