Hodge's injuries are not life threatening. Additional Resources... Nuggets Team Roster - Julius Hodge The shooting happened at about 2:20 Saturday morning, according to the Adams County Sheriff Office. Hodge was apparently traveling WB on I-76 toward Pecos. When investigators arrived, they found an empty black car with multiple gun shot holes. Investigators say one victim was driven to a hospital by a Good Samaritan before officers arrived. Westbound I-76 was closed for more than four hours so law enforcement could investigate. It's still unclear who shot Hodge and if he was the intended target. The investigation is ongoing. Hodge has played sparingly for the Nuggets this season. He played seven minutes in a game against Utah on January 20th, his most playing time in one game this season. "

4/8/2006 12:09:11 PM

Even if they are non-life threatening injuries, they could still be career ending ones

4/8/2006 12:09:25 PM

Dammit, you're gonna be rookie of the year, why do you need to carry out your grudge

^Yeah, that's what I'm worried about

quite unfortunate, but im sure there is a lot more to this story that has not been disclosed, or known about

i.e. ... no theft involved .. random shooting at 2 am on an interstate ... these people knew who it was, were not after money or any valuables, and obviously didnt stop after the shooting to finish it off

this all sounds really sketchy, esp, in denver colorado

4/8/2006 12:16:21 PM

That sucks.

4/8/2006 12:18:58 PM

This is really sad, NCSU should get together a monster card in the brickyard and ship it out to Denver

4/8/2006 12:20:48 PM

^^^

4/8/2006 12:22:20 PM

espn.com says he is in fair condition and expected to make a full recovery.

4/8/2006 12:42:11 PM

the of the whole thing is that he was struck "SEVERAL" times

4/8/2006 12:42:59 PM

Get well soon Jules. He was definitely the first player that I liked, and will remember forever. I remember at the Duke game last year, some guy was standing next to me and we were talking about the team. He was a freshman, and was all saying bad things about Hodge, and how he tried to do way too much. I just pointed out that he led the team in assists and that he is the main reason why State is back getting national exposure. He didn't say one bad word about him after that. I love you Hodge (in the non-homo, appreciation for a guy that put his heart and soul into the game way).

4/8/2006 12:43:24 PM

FUCK CHRIS PAUL

4/8/2006 1:00:19 PM

4/8/2006 1:11:48 PM

his lower extremities are only about 1 bullet wide in the first place

get well soon julius

4/8/2006 1:21:32 PM

Get well soon Julius.

4/8/2006 1:31:45 PM

I somewhat care about this

4/8/2006 1:31:49 PM

Ya'll better vote for him as your favorite basketball player now, on the oh so up to date poll on the home page.

4/8/2006 1:35:17 PM

ESPN just added to their article that he is in fair condition and expected to make a full recovery. Thank God for that, I love that guy.

4/8/2006 1:37:02 PM
