The group was approached by other men who made fun of their clothes, police told reporters at a news briefing. A fight eventually broke out between the men and Boyd was shot, police said. Boyd and his friends were not armed.
The NFL player was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the stomach. He spent days in the hospital before apparently being discharged and returning to deal with more complicated health issues stemming from the wound.
