(Bloomington, Ind.) According to Robert Jordan, a sportswriter for the Contra Costa Times, Indiana recruit Eli Holman, a 6'10" center from Richmond, California, has vowed never to set foot in the city again after being shot Saturday night. One bulllet grazed his upper back, narrowly missing his spine, while another pierced the car's headrest. Three shots in all were fired.
The incident has left Holman so traumatized that he has left his hometown to live with Michelle Banks, his legal guardian since September 2006. Three juveniles have been detained in the shooting, which occurred late Saturday night as Holman and three friends pulled into a Quality Inn to attend a friend's party.
