Denver Broncos' Darrent Williams (CB) gunned down
The Denver Post ^| January 1, 2007 | Bill Williamson


Broncos right cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed this morning. After leaving a nightclub in a limousine, Williams was shot and killed near 11th and Grant in Denver. The team confirmed the death of Williams. A female passenger also was shot, according to a source familiar with Williams.
Williams was 24.
"I learned from the Denver Police Deprtment that this incident has occured," Williams' agent, Jeff Griffin said early Monday morning. "No other details have been released. I sincerely offer my condolences and feelings to his family." Williams was the Broncos' starting right cornerback and played his final game for the team in a 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers that eliminated Denver from the playoffs on New Year's Eve.





Broncos' fans can be tough when they loose. Seriously, Denver's first murder of 2007. Arent they off to a good start? Sarcasm off.

I have watched the Fans of various sporting events...I have noticed that most fans will get out of hand when thier team has a loss...there are many reasons for this...and when you narrow the reasons for the reasons down...the reason points to the fact that the individual places his entire happiness on something that is man made, something faulty.

I know of one individual that dicided to jump up and down on my car because it reminded him of the colors of the opposing team that beat his team...He was arrested and told to pay for the damage he caused...but being the stedfast fan he was he refused to comply...I finally caught him alone and now he has a nacelace of his own teeth to remind him of his team...We have come to be fast friends, but thats another story...

The article on USA, pointed out that Darrent Williams was from Fort Worth and was on his way home after the team meeting tuesday.


When he returned to Fort Worth he planned on teaching in publics schools against gangs.


This is a sad day for another fallen warrior and his family.

Actually this happened in the wee hours of Monday morning 01 Jan 07.
The team meeting is/was scheduled for tomorrow 02 Jan 07.

Also there was another Bronco team member in the limo, which was carrying 16 people in total. This may be a case of in the wrong place at the wrong time, and had nothing to do with the Broncos' players.

FYI: The incident occured three blocks from the Denver Police headquarters.

Well talking about fans taking things seriously I am so glad British football fans can't get guns easily.

Poor guy.
