Sports in Brief: Report: Bullet casings linked to Harrison's gun
The case involving Indianapolis Colts receiver Marvin Harrison took a new turn last night.
According to an ESPN report, six of the bullet casings found after an April 29 shooting near Harrison's car wash and garage came from a gun that belongs to the star player.
According to ESPN, police returned to the scene of the shooting to examine bullet holes in two residences after information was provided to police by an alleged third victim of the shooting.
Harrison's representatives say he was not present during the shooting, and that his gun was not involved. Harrison's attorney declined comment. Police say they have no suspects in the shooting, which left two people injured.
Harrison, a graduate of Roman Catholic High, has not been charged.
