Carl Landry was shot in the leg early this morning in what has been discribed as a possible drive-by shooting or failed robbery near downtown Houston, according to the police.
“Landry, 25, was released after treatment at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. A team spokesman said he suffered a flesh wound and is expected to be out of the lineup for one to two weeks.
“We are very thankful and relieved that Carl’s injuries were relatively minor and that he is doing well,” Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey said in a statement. “Carl was the victim of an apparent random act of violence early this morning after the team arrived from New Orleans. We are in the process of working with authorities to gather more information. Carl was treated and released at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center for a surface wound in his left calf and a dislocated finger on his left hand. X-rays were negative. We expect him to make a full recovery and return in 1-3 weeks.
The incident happened in the 3100 block of Leeland, a short distance southeast of downtown, about 4:20 a.m., Houston police said in a preliminary report.”
