My fiance just called and told me she heard on the radio that while driving home at 2am last night in Denver, a car pulled up next to Julius Hodge and shot him. Did anyone hear or read this? I can't seem to find a report on it anywhere :shrug:
Julius Hodge Shot???

DENVER (AP) - Denver Nuggets guard Julius Hodge was shot and wounded early Saturday while driving on a highway, authorities said.
He was struck several times in his lower body and taken to a hospital, but his condition wasn't immediately available.
Hodge was driving on Interstate 76 in the Denver area at about 2 a.m. when another vehicle pulled alongside and someone inside started shooting, the Adams County sheriff's office said. Another driver stopped and took Hodge to the hospital.
Authorities said the motive for the shooting wasn't known, and they appealed to any witnesses to come forward.
The 22-year-old player was the Nuggets' first-round draft pick in 2005 out of North Carolina State. Hodge, 6-foot-7, was recalled from the NBA's developmental league last month after Earl Boykins broke his hand.

From Rotoworld/Denver Post:"Nuggets rookie guard Julius Hodge was shot several times in his lower body as he was driving his car early Saturday morning in the Denver area.
His condition is unknown at this point, but we do know another motorist took him to the hospital. No motive is known and the shooter has not been apprehended. Hodge has bounced between the Nuggets and NBDL this season, and has had a rough year, being accused (and cleared) of sexual assault at the start of the year."
