TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — NFL star and Houston Texans’ wide receiver Tank Dell was among the 10 victims injured in a shooting after an argument turned violent at a Florida nightclub Saturday night.

Seminole County deputies responded to the Cabana Live in Sanford just after midnight to observe a crowd that formed outside the bar, according to NBC affiliate WESH.

Deputies then heard shots ring out as the crowd dispersed. Officials said 10 people were hurt, suffering non-life-threatening injuries, with most of the victims being shot in the lower body. ‘

The Texans confirmed Dell was one of the victims in the shooting on social media Sunday, stating that he suffered a “minor wound” from a shooting in Sanford, Florida.

Dell has since been released from the hospital and is in “good spirits,” the team said.

“We have been made aware that Tank Dell was a victim of a shooting in Sanford, Florida, last night. He sustained a minor wound but has been released from the hospital and he is in good spirits. We are in contact with him and his family and will provide more updates when appropriate but we ask that you please respect his privacy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in this incident,” the Texans wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to NBC affiliate KPRC, Dell was in Florida visiting his mother in Daytona Beach, his hometown. He was shot as an innocent bystander.

The sheriff’s office said the shooting began as an argument that escalated into violence. A 16-year-old has since been taken into custody.

The 24-year-old played college football at the University of Houston before being drafted by the Texans in the 2023 NFL Draft. During his rookie year, the star receiver recorded 709 yards receiving in just 11 games.

Nothing ever good happens when people start gathering at a bar who have issues.

“... being shot in the lower body.”

“A 16-year-old has since been taken into custody.”

THAT is the REAL story IMO......and MANY questions need to be asked and answered in regards to a minor apparently shooting up a bar.

Sanford probably used to be such a nice little town. Home to the NY Giant’s spring training (then briefly the SF Giants).

Gee, I wonder what happened?

Germane to nothing in this thread, the current Sanford airport used to be a Naval Air Station that was home to the A-5 Vigilante supersonic carrier-based heavy bomber. There are some interesting displays and info available at the now-airport. Pretty awesome airplane and if IRRC the first nuclear capable carrier-based aircraft.

(Not sure about the A-3 Skywarrior that it replaced.)

Sanford is heavily populated by POC.

Amazingly, downtown has an awesome German restaurant called Hollerbachs. Always drop in there when over that way

For those who don’t know FL, the report is out of Tampa,but Sanford is about 20 miles north of Orlando, with its own regional airport. Sanford is about 50 miles SW of Daytona, so he was out of his hometown area while recreating at the bar.

The attraction of athletes to night clubs where trouble lurks is a mystery.

Used to regularly drive down from Palatka to eat at Hollerbachs. Another favorite was European Cafe & Schnitzel House in Ormond Beach.

Seems to be safer to stay in the boonies w/ 8-10 foot ‘gators.
