Four arrested in shooting incident involving FSU linebacker

In a shocking event that occurred in the United States, Florida State University linebacker Ethan Pritchard was shot in the back of the head while sitting in a vehicle outside an apartment complex in Havana. The incident took place on August 31, as Pritchard was dropping off family members, including an aunt and a child. He has since been reported to be in critical but stable condition at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. The investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) led to the arrest of four individuals in connection with this shooting. These suspects include Jayden Bodison, Caron Miller, Germany Atkins, and an unnamed minor. Bodison, Miller, and the juvenile face serious charges of three counts each of attempted murder as well as a count of shooting into an occupied vehicle. Atkins, on the other hand, is charged solely with a probation violation. The authorities have indicated that they believe this tragic shooting may have been a case of mistaken identity. Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young has noted that Pritchard was not doing anything wrong when the ambush occurred. Florida State’s football community has rallied around Pritchard and his family during this difficult time. FSU head coach Mike Norvell expressed his sentiments about Pritchard, highlighting not only his talent and passion for the game but also the dire nature of the violence that has impacted his career. Coach Norvell and Pritchard's father, Earl, are providing support in the hopes of aiding Pritchard's recovery while the community prays for his well-being and strength in the face of this senseless act of violence.
