Region Mourns the Loss of #21

Sean Taylor was so young. This is a senseless tragedy. The whole Northern Virginia region is somberly buzzing about the death of this very talented athlete.

Sean Taylor was only 24 years old.

From the AP here:

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after the Pro Bowl player was shot at home by what police say was an intruder. He was 24.

Taylor died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting early Monday.

Taylor, the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft following an All-American season at the University of Miami, was shot early Monday in the upper leg, damaging the key femoral artery and causing significant blood loss.

I don’t know if its likely that they will find his killer. NOVA’s collective heart goes out to the Taylor family at this time of their loss.
