Charger Draft Choice Is Shot

Terrence Kiel, the second-round pick of the San Diego Chargers in this year’s NFL draft, was in stable condition in a Houston hospital, one day after being shot during an attempted carjacking.

Kiel, a safety at Texas A&M; last season, was sitting in his car in a mall parking lot when he was shot by an unidentified man, police said.

The suspect, who was on foot, “said something to the victim and shortly thereafter fired numerous times, striking him in the abdomen and leg,” Houston police spokeswoman Sandra Aponte said.

The suspect fled and later got into a vehicle and drove away, Aponte said.

Martha Kiel said her grandson was shot three times -- once in the ankle, once in the knee and once in the abdomen. She said he is expected to fully recover.
