2 Vanderbilt Football Players Shot Trying to Recover Teammate's Stolen Cellphone

Vanderbilt football players Tae Daley and Frank Coppet were shot Monday night when they attempted to recover a teammate's stolen cellphone, according to the Tennessean's Natalie Neysa Alund.  

Citing police in Nashville, Tennessee, the Associated Press (via ESPN.com) reported Daley suffered a "noncritical gunshot wound" to his leg, while Coppet suffered "noncritical birdshot wounds" to his arms. 

According to Alund, sophomore wide receiver Donaven Tennyson had his phone stolen Monday when he went to meet with a prospective buyer after he offered it for sale on the internet. 

Tennyson reportedly later found his phone for sale on the same website, and he set up a meeting with the alleged robber to recover his property. Daley and Coppet accompanied Tennyson and arrived at the scene with a pellet pistol. 

Police said the players approached the car of the men they were attempting to confront. One man, armed with a pistol, got out of the car and shot at the players, while another man in the car shot at the players with a shotgun. 

The shooters have yet to be identified.
