Denver Nuggets player wounded in early morning shooting



DENVER - 9News has learned, from independent sources, that Denver Nuggets Guard Julius Hodge was wounded in an early morning shooting on I-76. Hodge's injuries are reportedly not life threatening.


The shooting happened at about 2:20 Saturday morning, according to the Adams County Sheriff Office. Hodge was apparently traveling near I-76 and Pecos. When investigators arrived, they found an empty black car with multiple gun shot holes. Investigators say one victim was driven to a hospital by a Good Samaritan before officers arrived. I-76 was closed for more than four hours during the investigation.

Westbound I-76 was closed for more than four hours so law enforcement could investigate. It's still unclear who shot Hodge and if he was the intended target. The investigation is ongoing.

Hodge has played sparingly for the Nuggets this season. He played seven minutes in a game against Utah on January 20th, his most playing time in one game this season.

Hodges' experience in Denver this season has been mindblowing. It is hard to believe that this is the second NBA player to be shot in one season.

Why? People will do anything. Remember when someone sent a letter to the Bulls during one of their games, saying that someone in MJs family was shot, or real sick or something along those lines, and it turned out to be a hoax. He left the game to go to the hospital, found out, returned, and lead the Bulls to victory.

I'm not buying the story that the car just pulled up and started shooting for no reason. Hodge probably instigated the guy or something...

still, this is a tragic thing and I hope he makes a full recovery.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
