Football Weird Brandon Meriweather Shooting Story

So there is a story developing in Florida that Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather shot two people.

http://www.nesn.com/2011/03/brandon-...n-florida.html

The gist of the story is that Meriweather and a friend went into a bar in Florida in the town where they grew up. The friend administered some kind of beat down on a woman. Later, the woman's brother and a friend of his showed up at the house and started administering a beat down on Meriweather's friend. Meriweather then shoots them, grazing the brother and hitting the other guy in the head.

Boston idiot radio is all over this this morning, as you would expect. Weird facts:

1. the alleged shooting occurred February 27, or 11 days ago now.

2. an attorney for the victims confirmed he's been hired by the victims and that Meriweather was the shooter.

3. both the local police and hte county police, when contacted by Boston sports talk shows, confirmed that they have NO active investigations involving Brandon Meriweather. Not the usual "we can't comment on any ongoing investigations", but that there are NO SUCH INVESTIGATIONS currently.

4. No arrests were made, apparently, in connection with this incident.

WTF?!?

It's interesting to note that Meriweather was involved in another shooting in 2006, before he was drafted. He shot at some guy, but missed. The police determined that his firearm was legally registered and had been used in self-defense, so no charges were pressed.
