The Investigation
Philadelphia radio reporter Anthony Gargano of WIP told ESPN his unidentified source claims Harrison got into an argument with a patron at his bar, Playmakers, and escorted the man from the establishment. A short time later, gunfire erupted, and the man was hit in the hand. A young girl was also said to be hurt by shattered glass. Police later established that the weapon used in the shooting was registered to Harrison. Authorities have confirmed that Harrison was interviewed in the case, but declined further comment.Quotes
