Gunshots were fired early Thursday morning on the Strip, according to an alert notification delivered via email by University Relations at 2:47 a.m. A later alert, sent by University Relations at 3:47 a.m., said the situation had been cleared and that two suspects were in custody.

“Shots fired on the Strip. Officers on scene. One suspect in custody. Take necessary precautions,” the first alert read, in its entirety....

The second victim has not yet been identified, but Smith said she saw several Crimson Tide coaches and football players at the hospital, including Coach Scott Cochran and linebacker Nico Johnson.

The second message, clearing the alert, said no gunshot injuries. ???

There may have been other fight-related injuries.

I just scanned twitter and did not see anything about player involvement.  I follow most of the players, so I would expect to see something from one of them about going to the hospital to see so and so, or something like that.  They were all talking about getting on the plane to go to DC this morning.

The only name I've seen was "D White".  No idea if it's true at all.  The rest of them apparently left for DC this morning.

I found a couple of tweets saying it was White, but it still looks like just a rumor so far.

Here is the article:

It looks like he has a concussion, but was not shot.

Likely:  Soon as he recovers, CNS may kick his butt.

Alternatively:  "DeAndrew White receives award for disarming gunman on Strip".

The gunmen were firing shots into the air to disperse the crowd?   :-\

It appears D. White will miss the White House trip.   Another man with more severe head injuries also is reported, though apparently not part of D. White's incident.  Was someone going around hitting people in the head, post bar closing fight or theft perhaps?  Nothing good happens after bar closing.
