Virginia Tech Football player Victor "Macho" Harris made a statement Tuesday addressing the shooting that occurred at his apartment early in the morning of Nov 11.
Following yesterday's football practice, Harris addressed the media with a single statement about the incident, after which he would only accept questions concerning football and his upcoming game against Miami.
"The incident that took place at my apartment was a random situation," said Harris in the address. "I don't have any enemies or nothing like that. Like I said, the shooting was very random and the police are looking into it right now. That's all I got to say about it."
In addition to yesterday's statement by Harris, head coach Frank Beamer held his regular midday press conference that occurs every Tuesday before a football game. In the earlier conference, Macho also refused to answer questions regarding the shooting.
"I know kind of what you know, and I've talked to some people here," Beamer told the crowd in his opening statements at the earlier conference. "Shots were fired into his apartment late at night. From what I know, I don't think any of our people are at fault here, and it's under police investigation, and that's the last I'm talking about that until the police investigation is done."
Captain Bradbery of the Blacksburg Police Department said there were no updates in the case, including a possible motive in the shootings, as of Tuesday afternoon.
The incident has not been linked to the fights that started earlier that same night in Oge Chi's restaurant and bar, and continued out onto Draper Road, where police made several arrests.
