Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden is confirming that three of his family members are among those wounded in the mass shooting at an Arkansas night club.
Fox 16 News obtained video of McFadden outside of Power Ultra Lounge after the shooting took place. As he attempts to get closer to the scene, officers can be seen asking that he step back.
McFadden released a statement after the video became public.
“The other night, while at home, I received a call from my nephew that there was a shooting at the club where he and some of my relatives were. He told me that he got shot, many other people were shot, and that some of my relatives were among those shot. Out of concern for all the people affected by this horrible tragedy, I went down to the scene to check on my relatives and to offer any help I could.
I appreciate all of the people who have reached out to check in on my family. We all appreciate your kind words and prayers. At this time, I am asking people to respect the privacy of family and their medical status.
Finally, I want to again send my thoughts and prayers to all those affected by the shooting.”
The shooting left 25 people wounded and 3 people injured attempting to escape.
