Rockets forward Carl Landry suffered a gunshot wound to his lower leg early this morning about an hour after the team arrived home from New Orleans.

The shooting took place near Landry’s Fort Bend County home. He was treated for a flesh wound at Memorial Hermann Hospital and released. Landry is expected to be out of the lineup for one to two weeks.

Following the Rockets’ 95-84 win over the Hornets, the team charter flight landed at Hobby Airport just past midnight.

After driving home, Landry, 25, went back out to pick up a late meal at a fast food restaurant not far from his house. His car was first side-swiped by a passing car and then the occupants of the vehicle slowed down and fired two shots, the second of which struck him in the leg, according to team officials.

Landry, in his second professional season with the Rockets, had played 23 minutes, totaling 12 points and six rebounds, and played a key role in the Rockets’ win at New Orleans. He is averaging 9.3 points and 5 rebounds this season.

Man this sucks. Hope they catch those bastards. They say it's a flesh wound and he was shot in the calf.

WOw, probably some nut who lost a bundle because of all those f'ing offensive rebounds he was getting late in the game. I have to admit I had thoughts of administering bodily harm if I could see him face to face. Anyways thats fucked up and wish him the best although he cost me last night.

3:30 am is pretty late or early, but it doesn't matter, he was out getting something to eat.

Here's more of the story of what happened.

According to Senior Officers D.W. Arnold and R.A. Moreno of the Houston police homicide division, Landry was driving southbound on Leeland with a female passenger when a gray Honda Civic, traveling northbound, swerved into Landry's lane and sideswiped his sport-utility vehicle.
Landry made a partial U-turn near Palmer Street and the Honda also turned around and again struck Landry's SUV, causing it to hit a wooden utility pole and stop, the officers said.
After Landry got out, two men got out of the Honda and one of them pulled a pistol from his back pocket and fired twice, police said. After being hit, Landry ran for help, they said.
The two men ran after Landry for a short distance before giving up and running away, police said. The woman in Landry's SUV was not injured, they said.
Landry described the attackers as Hispanic men in their early to mid-20s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 150 to 160 pounds. They had short black hair and wore all-black clothing, he said.
Police asked that anyone with information about the men call the homicide division at 713-308-3974 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. All callers to Crime Stoppers remain anonymous.
"It's frightening for anybody. Everybody knows Carl and why the city loves him." Morey said. "He's a happy, upbeat guy. It was one of those situations where everyone takes stock. I think he's going to get through it because he's very positive, but I think he was very frightened."
Landry, in his second professional season with the Rockets, had played 23 minutes, totaling 12 points and six rebounds, and played a key role in the Rockets’ win at New Orleans. He is averaging 9.3 points and 5 rebounds this season.





That story sounds fishy. The guys left Landry's car and a passenger in the car unharmed??

Sad to say but something does not compute here. I hope Landry comes out of this clean but I worry.
