Charles West, BYU Football Recruit, Shot in Arm

Running back Charles West, who is committed to play at BYU in 2015, was shot in the arm Sunday while playing basketball at Coppell Middle School East in Coppell, Texas.

According to Claire Z. Cardona of the Dallas Morning News, the 18-year-old recruit ran after getting shot, was admitted to the hospital and has since been released.

Tim Montemayor of 1320 KFAN in Salt Lake City provided a look at the police report following the incident:

In the wake of his release from the hospital, West gave an update with regard to his health on Twitter:

Per Cardona, no arrests have been made, although police do have a person of interest. West's lawyer, Hunt Bonneau, also released a statement regarding the interest.

"It was broad daylight ... it wasn't like he was doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing," Bonneau said. "It's just kind of a really scary event that he'd been very lucky to get through."

West is a 3-star prospect who ranks as the No. 76 running back and No. 1,018 overall player in the Class of 2015, according to 247Sports.

The 5'9" Coppell High School standout is set to join a Cougars team that lost No. 2 running back Paul Lasike to graduation and currently has starter Jamaal Williams on the shelf with a knee ailment.

It is unclear how the injury as a result of the shooting might impact West's ability to play in 2015, but he is certainly lucky that something much worse didn't happen.
