Vanderbilt football player shot at party
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt wide receiver George Smith was shot in the arm and two teammates were injured over the weekend at a party at a university apartment building, a school spokeswoman said.
Smith, a redshirt freshman, was shot in the arm early Sunday by someone who is not a university student, school spokeswoman Melanie Moran said. He was taken to Vanderbilt hospital, was treated and released.
Nashville and university police are investigating the incident and no arrests have been made.
The shooting came hours after Vanderbilt beat Division I-AA Richmond 37-13 and improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1984.
Smith has seven catches for 48 yards and a touchdown this season.
Freshman defensive end Derrius Dowell and redshirt freshman safety Reshard Langford sustained minor cuts and were also treated and released from Vanderbilt hospital, Moran said.
