Former West Virginia Mountaineer wide receiver, and current St. Louis Ram, Stedman Bailey was the victim of a shooting Tuesday evening in Miami. Multiple sources have confirmed the news, which began to spread around 11:00PM EST on social media. Bailey is currently serving a four game suspension due to a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, and was at home for the Thanksgiving holiday. He worked with his former team at Miramar High School this past weekend. Stedman's injuries, as of right now, are considered non-life threatening, but there are conflicting reports coming out on Twitter.

The St. Louis Rams are expected to release a statement regarding the situation shortly. We will keep you updated as the information is released. Please keep Stedman Bailey in your thoughts and prayers.
