St. Louis Rams receiver Stedman Bailey is in critical but stable condition after being shot Tuesday night, according to NFL.com.
Bailey was shot twice in the head while sitting in a car in Miami Gardens, Florida, NFL.com reports, and will undergo surgery Wednesday. The Rams reportedly do not believe the injuries are life-threatening.
According to ESPN, Bailey was in the car with his cousin, Antwan Reeves, and two children. Reeves suffered life-threatening bullet wounds, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, reportedly while shielding the kids from bullets. The children were unharmed, according to ESPN.
Police are looking for a light-colored, four-door sedan, possibly a Buick Regal, according to ESPN.
“We are aware Stedman Bailey was involved in an incident this evening,” the Rams said in a statement. “We have spoken with Stedman and he is in the hospital in critical, but stable, condition. We are gathering facts about the situation and will provide updates as we learn more.”
A number of NFL players have offered thoughts and prayers for Bailey on Twitter.
