A Florida State University football player is recovering after being shot in Havana over the weekend.
Freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard is in an intensive care unit at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. In a statement, FSU Football said Pritchard is in critical but stable condition.
He was shot while visiting family in Havana on Sunday night.
"It's obviously an extremely tragic event," said Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell during a press conference Monday.
"Our football team, coaches and family, we're all here to support him and absolutely believe in him and are praying for all parts of him and the journey ahead."
According to the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office, the shooting happened around 10 p.m. Sunday near Havana Heights Apartments. A man, later identified as Pritchard, was found injured inside a vehicle. Officers arrived and EMS officials transported him to TMH where he underwent surgery.
An investigation into the shooting is underway.
