The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. Tuesday up the block from a garage and car detail shop that Harrison owns at 25th and Thompson streets, police said. Six shots were fired in all during the incident. An unidentified 32-year-old man - who had just been involved in a fistfight with Harrison - took a bullet to the hand. A 2-year-old boy suffered a cut under his eye from shards of glass that showered the area when an errant bullet exploded through a car windshield, police said.
From there, the story gets complicated.
The gunshot victim was dropped off at Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood. Initially, the man told investigators that he had been wounded while driving on 61st Street in West Philly, police sources said. Eventually, though, he acknowledged that he had been shot in North Philly. The man refused, however, to identify the person who wounded him.
Investigators later learned that the gunshot victim had been kicked out of Harrison's bar, Playmakers, on 28th Street near Cambridge, two weeks earlier, and had bickered with Harrison ever since, sources said.
On Wednesday, detectives visited Harrison's garage and detail shop, which he purchased in 2006 for $200,000, according to tax records. Sources said that Harrison had a Belgian firearm, an FN5.7, in his garage. Harrison handed the high-powered weapon - which fires armor-piercing rounds - over to investigators. He then spent about four hours at Central Detectives, accompanied by his attorney, Jerome Brown. Neither Brown nor Harrison's agent, Tom Condon, could be reached for comment last night. During a lengthy interview, Harrison acknowledged owning the gun and being involved in a fistfight on Tuesday, but said he had nothing to do with the shooting, sources told the Daily News. Investigators informed him that ballistics tests confirmed that five of the six shell casings found at the shooting scene came from his gun, the sources said.
Last night, detectives were searching for another man who contacted them and claimed that he had been shot by Harrison, although that report remains unconfirmed, sources said. Harrison, meanwhile, has not been charged with any wrong-doing. "No one has actually come in here and said that he shot them, and we don't have any witnesses," one investigator noted.
I'll believe this when he's proven guilty. My cousin is friends with Marvin from high school. I've gotten several opportunities to hang out with him. Always been a very nice, polite guy. I'm by no means claiming to be buds with Marvin or know him very well, but from my own experiences and everything my cousin has told me, I'd be surprised if he's guilty. Last time I saw Marvin was last summer. I'm not likely to see him again anytime soon, but if I talk to my cousin and he's talked to Marvin, I'll let you guys know what he says.

S. Bloom has rendered his verdict: he doesn't have Harrison ranked in his latest redraft rankings (out of 60 WRs).

How is this even possible?
