Ahmad Hardy, one of college football's standout running backs, is recovering in stable condition after being shot during an early morning incident at a concert in Mississippi. The University of Missouri confirmed the shooting on Monday, saying Hardy underwent surgery Sunday to treat the gunshot wound.
Hardy, an All-America caliber player for the football program, was at the venue when the shooting occurred early Sunday. The injury required immediate surgical intervention, which took place later that same day.
Missouri's athletics department released a statement describing Hardy as a deeply loved member of the football team. The program offered support to the player as he begins his recovery.
Details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting have not been disclosed. Hardy's status represents a significant development for the Mizzou football roster heading into the season.
Author James Rodriguez: "A talented player's life was forever changed in a moment of senseless violence, and the focus now rightly belongs on his full recovery."
