Denver Bronco Darrent Williams Dies in Shooting

DENVER -- Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed early Monday morning in downtown Denver 7News reported exclusively on its 5 a.m. newscast.
Denver Broncos spokesman Jim Saccomano said that police confirmed the fatal shooting involving Williams and said there was "incredible shock and sadness at a senseless tragedy."
Williams, 24, was riding in a limousine near 11th Avenue and Speer Boulevard just after 2 a.m. , when the shooting occurred. The shots came from another vehicle and two other people in the limo were also hit. Their conditions were not known.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the two people were rushed to Denver Health Medical Center. He said the person who was most seriously wounded was pronounced dead at the shooting scene.
It was not immediately known what prompted the shooting.
A white stretch limo ran off the road near the intersection and had police tape around it shortly after the shooting. 7News anchor Mitch Jelniker, reporting from the shooting scene, said bullet holes could plainly be seen in several of the limo doors.
Jelniker said the intersection would be closed "for quite some time" which police investigate the shooting.
Williams played against the San Francisco 49ers on New Year's Eve. The Broncos lost 26-23 in overtime and were eliminated from the playoffs.
-------------------------------------------
Im still in shock.
I was just about to go to bed and i see his photo flash up on to news channel saying he was killed.
I always loved watching him play, he was a good enthusiastic developing corner who, while he had some trouble throughout this season he still tried his heart out on every play. Im going to miss seeing him and Champ running back INT's and breaking up passes next season.
Seeing the senseless murder of such a young ambitions guy like this makes the Broncos loss seem like nothing.
RIP Darrent. *Mile High salute*
