Vikings new Defensive Tackle was shot in the calf
Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle was shot yesterday, when at a club. The report says he was an innocent bystander, but it could have been worse.
Linval suffered a minor injury during the shooting when a stray bullet struck his calf. He was immediately taken to the hospital where he was treated for his injury and released. He is expected to return to his coaches and teammates this week.
The entire Vikings organization is extremely thankful that Linval was not seriously hurt, and our thoughts are with all of the victims of this shooting. The team will defer any further comment to the Minneapolis Police Department during its ongoing investigation.
