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: Cameras Caught The Incredibly Sad Reactions Of Duke Star Kyle Filipowski & His Girlfriend While Leaving The NBA Draft After Going Undrafted

While Wednesday night went well for thirty new draft picks, some were left disappointed. One such player is Duke’s, Kyle Filipowski, who had high hopes of finding his new home in the NBA. Instead, he went back empty-handed.
The 7-foot offensive center was present in the Barclays Center green room with his nearby ones waiting for his name to be called out. However, in the pool of talented players, Filipowski couldn’t make the spot. This does not mean he has missed the opportunity this year. The 20-year-old might not have made it into the first round, but the second one is still left.
One of the saddest moments from the event shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) was Filipowski hugging his girlfriend. The young athlete looked disheartened by the situation while she tried to console him.
The Blue Devils’ standout put up 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in the 2023-2024 season. Filipowski did display his shooting skills, but that wasn’t enough for the Duke man to engage in a contract with any franchise.
The short video soon circulated on the internet, reaching the NBA community, who didn’t hold back from reacting to his mourning moment.
