We were one of the first to report that Former Cincinnati Bengals and NFL Free Agent Antwan Odom was shot in the leg in a home invasion (NFL Free Agent Antwan Odom Shot in the Leg by Tony Glidersleeve in Home Invasion).
At the time, I mentioned that the story didn’t add up and there was something else going on that hadn’t been released.
After some detective work, I now know why Odom wasn’t very forthcoming with details.
According to authorities, Tony Gildersleeve, who is reportedly a childhood friend of Odom’s, entered Odom’s home through an unlocked door, went into Odom’s bedroom and fired two shots with a .410 shotgun. After missing with the first shot, Gildersleeve reportedly fired again, hitting Odom in the upper right thigh.
Authorities indicated Gildersleeve’s girlfriend was inside the home at the time of the shooting, but was not injured in the incident.
The suspect and victim wrestled over the gun, according to police reports, but Gildersleeve eventually fled the scene, leaving behind the gun.
What have I told you are the 5 reasons men get into altercations with other men over.
1- Women
2- Money
3- Drugs
4- Sports
5- Music
I don’t know if Odom and Gildersleeve are still friends (probably not anymore), whatever the case if Odom was smashing his friend’s girlfriend he was breaking a man rule.
Doesn’t mean he should be shot, but he should have been smarter. When you mess with someone’s woman, even if they already broke up, you are taking a risk. When you add in their past relationship, I can understand exactly why this happened.
Gildersleeve is being charged with attempted murder, and Odom should be thanking God his boy is a horrible shot.
