MIAMI (AP) -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition after he was shot at his Florida home Monday, police said.

Miami-Dade County police officers were dispatched to Taylor's home at about 1:45 a.m. and found him shot. He was then airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said. He didn't know where on Taylor's body he was shot.

A brief statement from the Redskins said Taylor was undergoing treatment at the Miami hospital and that police were investigating. His family has asked that no information about his condition be released at this point, said hospital spokeswoman Lorraine Nelson.

Taylor has a home in the Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay that he bought for $900,000 two years ago.

Taylor, 24, is in his fourth season with the Redskins after playing at the University of Miami, where he was an All-American in 2003. He leads the team with five interceptions but has missed the last two games with a knee injury.

In 2005, Taylor was accused of brandishing a gun at a man and repeatedly hitting him during a fight that broke out after Taylor and some friends went looking for the people who had allegedly stolen his all-terrain vehicles.

Taylor reached a deal with prosecutors last year after they agreed to drop felony charges against him. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in the assault case and was sentenced to 18 months probation.

The man, Ryan Hill, also sued, seeking at least $15,000 in damages. Hill suffered bruising to his body, incurred medical expenses and lost wages because of the fight, the lawsuit said.

This doesn't look good at all. I'm a huge Skins fan and he's definitely the fan favorite here other than Cooley. I really really hope he can pull through.

I have to agree, in general, a lot of these problems go back to the breakdown of the family. Kids now have no respect for authority and the father has left the scene.

Not blaming anyone, just saying the culture glorifies guns and thugery what can you expect.

Hope he pulls through and gets a chance to leave that type of world he lives in.

i believe this our world is forceing both parents to work and these kids are forced way to young to grow up........they have no respect for authority anymore.............i live in a rural area and kids think they own the streets they dont get out of way of cars becuase they dont have to.................its just sad seeing how these kids are growing up.................if i catch mine doing that god help them................they say my kids are good when they are at everyone else house but i see the attitude from mine everyday.................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr

I think there are many things that point to it not being that.....but lets not be naive or act surprised here....

no like i said...i do not....but when it walks like a duck and talks like one.....i may think more times than not it is a duck......i would lend more credence to that theory if they did not leave behind a knife last week.....

i reserve final judgement....but my guess is based on what i have heard on talk radio from people who cover the U.......


and you would like me to believe this nice guy turned his thug life around in 12 months or whenever his last charge was....
