"Florida State freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard was shot in the back of the head on Sunday night, his father said, and remains in stable condition at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Earl Pritchard told WFTV in Orlando that Ethan was shot while driving his aunt home from a family gathering in Havana, Florida, which is about 16 miles from Tallahassee, near the Georgia state line. "He was actually in the car taking my sister around the corner to her daughter's house to drop her off," Earl Pritchard told WFTV. "They turned the corner, and as soon as they turned the corner, they heard gunshots.""
""I try to give the players a daily update. ... I was able to go by yesterday for a short period of time with limited visitation, just getting a chance to be there for a handful of minutes. It was good to be with him. "He's still in stable condition. ... We are absolutely praying for him every day and trying to be there for our players, too.""
