FSU freshman Ethan Pritchard shot in Havana, Fla., four arrested

Florida State University freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard was critically wounded late last week when someone opened fire on his vehicle outside an apartment complex in Havana, Florida, authorities said, and four people were arrested this week in connection with the shooting. The incident, which occurred shortly before 10 p.m. while Pritchard was dropping off a family member, left the 6-foot-2, 219-pound recruit with a gunshot wound to the head and prompted an active investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Officials said Pritchard, a Sanford native who signed with Florida State last year, was in a car with two family members, including a child, when the vehicle was struck multiple times. Emergency crews transported him to a Tallahassee hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition and is being monitored in an intensive care unit. Authorities and family members have said investigators believe the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young told reporters the victim "was totally, totally nowhere near involved" in the earlier incident investigators are probing as connected to the attack.
