Brandon Roy, the former Portland Trail Blazers’ All-Star guard, was down in the Los Angles area last weekend visiting his grandmother when he was shot in the leg outside her home, according to multiple reports.
He has recovered, and in fact is back up in Washington where he is a high school coach, according to the reports.
King 5 TV in Seattle, where Roy is now a successful high school basketball coach, reported this.He was shot while at an outdoor gathering in the Los Angeles area. We were told, Roy was an innocent bystander in what may be a gang related shooting.
Roy was treated in southern California but has already returned to Washington while he recovers.
Sam Amick of the USA Today added this.
Someone opened fire randomly outside his grandmother’s house, and he was shielding some of the kids who were there, the person said.
It’s fortunate that Roy was not more seriously injured, and hopefully his recovery goes well.
