At least one armed intruder
had broken into the $900,000 Palmetto Bay house of the star NFL player
and were at his bedroom door. Taylor rose from bed to investigate. Just
outside his bedroom, he was shot in the groin and critically wounded.
He collapsed back into the room, where he breathed heavily as blood
gushed from his wound, according to Taylor’s lawyer and family friend,
Richard Sharpstein.

Sharpstein said Taylor, 24, emerged from surgery about 12:30 p.m.
but had lost a lot of blood and remained unconscious, his brain at risk
of injury from the blood loss. He is in intensive care and doctors have
allowed his family to see him.

According to police, Miami-Dade patrol officers received a call
about 1:45 a.m. Monday that Taylor had been shot in the leg. The caller
told police they heard intruders at the rear door of the house, trying
