Police question NFL star in shooting

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison has been interviewed by police about a shooting in North Philadelphia earlier this week.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver and Roman Catholic High School alum Marvin Harrison is being investigated by Philadelphia police for being involved in a shooting.

Police sources told the Daily News that the shooting occurred Tuesday night outside a car detail shop Harrison owns at 25th and Thompson streets in North Philadelphia.

Harrison was involved in argument with an unidentified man who was kicked out of Playmakers, the club he owns at 28th and Cambridge streets, about two weeks ago. The man, whose name is not being released, has been badgering Harrison since then, police sources said.

The conflict came to a head Tuesday night, when Harrison and the man were involved in a fistfight near the car detail shop. The physical confrontation ended with six gunshots being fired and the unidentified man suffering a gunshot wound to the hand..

The victim has refused to cooperate with investigators and hasn't identified Harrison as the shooter.

Ballistics tests proved that five of the bullets were fired by a gun Harrison owns, which police found in his detail shop, sources said. Harrison acknowledged to investigators that the gun was his, but contends that he was not involved in the shooting.

No arrests have been made in the case.
