JSU running back Troymaine Pope was injured during a shooting incident – outside AJ’s Sunset Grill – during the early hours of Sunday.
ABC 3340 is reporting that the 20 year old suffered a gunshot wound to his right bicep, as he ran for cover when shots broke out in the parking lot at around 5:20 that morning.
The injury was non-life threatening.
Pope, a graduate of Anniston High School – was gearing up for his second season at Jacksonville State University after having played in seven games last year as a freshman rushing for 245 yards and scoring one touchdown.
No arrests have been made in connection with Sunday’s incident – and that case remains under investigation.
Anyone with information regarding the circumstances surrounding that incident is encouraged to contact the Anniston Police Department at (256) 240-4000.
