I'm sure everyone who reads this will know by now but I just had to collect my thoughts and share what I know about the situation. As I posted yesterday he was shot and in critical condition. He had slipped into a coma later in the day but had come out of it and was responsive to doctors. Sometime overnight things took a turn for the worse and some reports say they had to crack his chest open to try to save him but were unsuccessful.
What I know about the break in is that there was a previous forced entry to the house 8 days ago and they went through his things and left a knife on the bed. The police says the intruders cut the phone lines before entering two nights ago, and Taylor and his girlfriend heard noises and Taylor grabbed a machete he kept for protection and the intruder came in and fired two shots, one missing and the other striking Taylor in the thigh hitting the femoral artery which was the fatal wound. Taylor had a young daughter who was in the room with them when it occured.
I'm so tired of these senseless acts of violence. I can think of three involving athletes specifically. Darrent Williams, Paul Pierce and this but there's hundreds of thousands that happen every year and no one ever learns. When is our society going to wake up and realize this isn't the way it should be?
Rest in peace Sean.
