| 3rd September, 2006 - 10:12 pm |  AP - Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was shot by an off-duty policeman in front of his suburban home Sunday, and his condition wasn't immediately known.
"My understanding is he was shot three times in front of his house by an off-duty officer and that he's in surgery," said Foley's agent David Levine.
The early morning shooting occurred after the officer reported seeing a suspected drunken driver weaving in and out of traffic on an area highway and attempting to pull him over, said sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos.
"We have confirmed that linebacker Steve Foley was shot early this morning," team spokesman Bill Johnston said in a statement. "We'll try to provide more information as it becomes available. Right now all of our thoughts are with Steve."
The shooting came eight days before the Chargers are scheduled to open the season at Oakland, and was the second time in four months that Foley has been involved in an incident with police. [READ] |
