Redskins’ Sean Taylor dies from injury in shooting
“Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after he was shot at home by what police say was an intruder. He was 24.
Family friend Richard Sharpstein said Taylor’s father told him the news around 5:30 a.m.
Sean Taylor was tied for the NFC lead for interceptions with five and was known as one of the league’s hardest-hitting defensive backs.
“His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me,” said Sharpstein, Taylor’s former lawyer. “It’s a tremendously sad and unnecessary event. He was a wonderful, humble, talented young man, and had a huge life in front of him. Obviously God had other plans.”
