Police interview receiver Harrison about shooting

Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver Marvin Harrison was interviewed by police about a shooting near his North Philadelphia car wash this week.

Lt. Frank Vanore said the investigation of Tuesday’s shooting was continuing. Harrison has not been arrested or charged.

Vanore told WCAU-TV the shooting occurred near a car wash owned by Harrison and about a half-mile from a bar also owned by the All-Pro receiver.

Earlier, radio station WIP, citing unidentified sources, reported the alleged shooting victim argued with Harrison at Playmakers bar.

The victim left and headed to his car, Harrison followed and gunfire broke out, the station reported. The alleged victim was shot in the hand and did not identify the shooter, according to the radio station.

A source told WIP that ballistic tests showed the shots were fired from a custom-made Belgian weapon, and police determined Harrison owns that kind of gun.

The source told the station a gun was discovered in a bucket at the car wash, and tests showed it had fired bullets that matched those at the scene.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Quarterback Perrilloux kicked off LSU team

Louisiana State quarterback Ryan Perrilloux was kicked off the defending national championship team after a career marked by legal and disciplinary problems.

Perrilloux “didn’t fulfill his obligation as an LSU student-athlete,” Coach Les Miles said in a statement.

Perrilloux, a sophomore, was a backup to Matt Flynn last season. He is expected to finish the spring semester, LSU officials said. He must do so to remain eligible to play next season if he transfers.

Perrilloux was suspended last summer and during recent spring drills.

He was on the fringe of a counterfeiting investigation and was caught trying to enter a Baton Rouge casino with false identification.

The NCAA ruled that transfer quarterback Ryan Mallett must sit out a year before playing for Arkansas. He transferred from Michigan after Coach Lloyd Carr retired and was replaced by Rich Rodriguez.
