Minnesota recruit Whaley recuperating after being shot in leg
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Tim Brewster said running back recruit Kevin Whaley is "fortunate that he's alive" after being shot in the leg outside a Virginia night club earlier this month.
Police say Kevin Whaley was leaving the club in his hometown of Virginia Beach, Va., shortly after 2 a.m. on March 22 when a vehicle pulled up and a gunman opened fire, hitting the Salem High School star in the leg.
Whaley was hospitalized with "non-life threatening injuries," but is back at home recovering, Brewster said Tuesday.
"I talked to Kevin yesterday," Brewster said. "He was very upbeat, very positive. He said, 'Coach I didn't run the 40 but I was out walking in the hallway."'
