The shooting that happened at Bullets Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson's house first started making the rounds yesterday, but I wanted to wait until more details surfaced before I wrote about it. Today, just a mere 24 hours later, all of the details are perfectly clear.
Stevenson and friends met several women at a nightclub and invited them back to the NBA player's home in an Orlando suburb. Witnesses told deputies they were followed into the gated community by a Cadillac Escalade. The driver of the Escalade argued with one of the women then reportedly opened fire with a handgun. Bullets shattered windows in Stevenson's Lexus SUV, and more shots hit a BMW and Stevenson's house. Stevenson's companions told deputies they ran into the home and didn't return fire. The women from the nightclub fled the scene…
… About a half-hour later, Curtis Ruff, 31, drove up to a local hospital in an Escalade seeking treatment for gunshot wounds to his legs, sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said. Ruff declined to cooperate, but Solomons said deputies believe he was shot at Stevenson's home. No one involved in the altercation wanted to press charges.
Well, then. That answers all my questions. Since no one else fired shots, obviously the guy in the Escalade shot himself in the leg. Case closed.
When asked to comment, teammate Gilbert Arenas bet Stevenson $20,000 that he could get more people shot at his house by next weekend.


Breaking news: here's some breaking news.
Let the race baiting begin…..
He didn't snitch but still got stitches, I am confused.
Mr Stevenson refused to comment, given the shooting percentage was under 50%,
A shooting occured involving a NBA player? Get the fuck out of here!!!
@Black… the rule "snitches get stiches" does not exclude non-snitches getting stitches, it, however, ensures them to snitches… its pretty technical shit in the streets.
+1 Blackcap and jimmy.
In a related case, Roger Goodell has claimed eminent domain over the NBA, and will be suspending the entire Wizards team until the day after never.
…Sebastian Telfair bought those guys the escalade, I think. They mistook Stevenson for someone important/ more famous to shoot at. Stupid murder for hire friends, they will be at agent 0's house next weekend, definately.
It ain't nice to snitch, Shorty.
I guess you classify Curtis Ruff as an Emo Kid then right?
texas… if you exchange the gun for a lady bic and the escalade for his sister's jeans then yes, he's emo.
Changing the name from "Bullets" to "Wizards" to serve as a more positive community presence seems to be working like a charm.
About a half-hour later, Curtis Ruff, 31, drove up to a local hospital in an Escalade seeking treatment for gunshot wounds to his legs,
and was promptly signed by the Atlanta Hawks solely based on shooting percentage.
This story sounds exactly like what happened to some other NBA'er a few months back. I'm suprised MU didn't just use the same joke now as he did then. That's dedication to his readers
When Jason Williams shoots a man, he dies.
The NBA is falling apart.
When it happened to Eddie Curry and Antoine Walker, it was different. They didn't have to be identified as "NBA players" in the news item.
Paging Mr. Stevenson. Reality is calling on the red courtesy phone.
Judging on how good of a shot bangers are if they are more than 2 feet away I'm guessing the guys who were doing the shooting shot their own guy.
You can rule out Antoine Walker, would've missed the guy by 15 feet.
