Scary news coming out of Los Angeles, as former NFL player Rickey Thenarse was rushed to the hospital after being shot in the stomach. Yes, you read that right. Not a headline anyone expected to see.
Details are still limited, but reports say the incident happened on Friday afternoon. One moment things were normal, the next moment it turned into a life-threatening situation. Emergency services responded quickly and got Thenarse to the hospital. And honestly, that quick response may have made all the difference.
The former Seattle Seahawks player is expected to be okay after being rushed to a local hospital shortly after the harrowing incident last week.
The outlet reports, through sources, that Thenarse had been in a dispute involving his girlfriend and the father of her child when the incident occurred.
Law enforcement sources revealed that a man and a woman were seen fleeing the scene in a black SUV, prior to Thenarse being taken to hospital.
Currently, no arrests have been made and detectives are still investigating. The Daily Mail have reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for comment.
After going undrafted in the 2011 NFL Draft, Thenarse signed with the Seattle Seahawks later that year and made three preseason appearances for the team.
Situations like this hit differently. It’s not about stats, it’s not about wins or losses, it’s about life. And right now, that’s the only thing that matters.
At the end of the day, everyone is hoping for the same outcome: a full recovery, because no matter how tough someone was on the field, this is a battle you don’t fight alone.
For now, all eyes are on updates, and hopefully, the next headline about Rickey Thenarse is a much better one.
