Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell was shot at a club during a mass shooting in Florida.

According to police, a 16-year-old teenager opened fire, wounding ten people, including 24-year-old Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell. The 24-year-old NFL star sustained a ‘minor wound,’ his team confirmed in a statement.

The shooting took place at Cabana Live, a party venue in Sanford, Florida. The Seminole County Sheriff’s office said none of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, and a 16-year-old was arrested. The second shooter remains unidentified and has not been taken into custody as of yet.

Dell, who began his rookie season in 2023 after being drafted by the Texans, was sent to the hospital for his injuries and has since been released and “is in good spirits.”

In the meantime, a picture has surfaced online showing just how dangerously close Tank Dell was to not only the teenage shooter but the second one as well.

Tank Dell is fortunate to be alive.

The Texans selected Dell, a native of neighboring Daytona Beach, Florida, in the third round of the 2023 draft. Before his rookie season was cut short in December during a game against the Denver Broncos, he amassed 709 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

According to witnesses and the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting of Tank Dell and nine other people happened after midnight during a brawl at a private event held at the Cabana Live events facility, according to the Associated Press.

Dell could be seen moving away from the action as he stopped to signal to some people, just as shots could be seen coming from behind and in front of him.

The defendant was charged with attempted murder, using a firearm while committing a crime, shooting a weapon in a public place, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a minor after being committed to a juvenile center.

VIDEO: UFC Star Sean Strickland Goes Off On Tom Brady In Moronic Expletive-Filled Rant That Made Absolutely No Sense

UFC star Sean Strickland went on a peculiar and expletive-filled rant against NFL legend Tom Brady over the latter’s reaction to his Netflix special earlier this month.

On May 5, Netflix aired “The Roast of Tom Brady” that featured appearances from several of his celebrity friends and former teammates. Comedian Kevin Hart hosted the event that included roasts from Kim Kardashian, Jeff Ross, Nikki Glaser, Peyton Manning, Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft and Andrew Schulz.

Brady later expressed regret over signing up for the roast, noting that it affected his children. Reports also stated that Brady apologized to ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who was brought up during the roast even though the two had apparently agreed on no disparaging remarks about the other following their divorce.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday ahead of Saturday’s UFC 302 event, Sean Strickland went on a rant against Brady for admitting his remorse about the roast. Strickland’s rant included homophobic and misogynistic language, per TMZ Sports:

“He handled that like a f***ing woman, dude. You act like a f***ing girl. You pet f***ing goats and you post g*y f***ing photos, dude. Like, man the f**k up.”

Those who follow Sean Strickland won’t be surprised by his strong language here. Strickland has a history of making homophobic remarks, and he was suspended from Twitter in 2022 over offensive comments about the LGBTQ community.

Still, there’s a better way to express your opposing views on how Tom Brady handled himself after the roast. Considering just how big Brady’s fanbase is, it’s safe to say Strickland made himself plenty more enemies ahead of his middleweight showdown with Paulo Costa.
