PrintAn insane twist to an already heartbreaking story, as, according to WAVE-3, former Louisville baseball player Isaiah Howes has been identified as the shooter of former Louisville football player Daniel Covington. The passenger in Howes' car whom Howes accidentally shot in the hand has been identified as Howes' brother.
Covington was found shot at about 2:30 a.m. last night on Second and Liberty, and was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later at University Hospital with gunshot wounds to his left arm and torso.
Howes, a graduate of Pleasure Ridge Park High School, was a member of the 2007 squad that advanced to the College World Series.

It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky...For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness." - Jim James, My Morning Jacket

Except
There weren’t seven shots fired and the only person shot besides Covington was Howes’ brother.

This is sad
This makes me sick to my stomach. What the hell were these kids thinking. Awful, Awful news…
guns
The NRA says guns don’t kill people. But people with guns do.
Racism..Ignorance...
This should be a damn murder charge! How you gone start some shit…two of you guys and he beat both yaw ass and you shoot him after provoking him and call it self defense..That bastard look like a racist! Makes me mad to see him wearing our uniform! Keep that racist shit in the hills and around the salt rivers of Ky…RIP DCov…pussies couldn’t fight so they wanna grab a gun!
It's government traceable!
Look at my name…C. White which is government traceable and belongs to myself..an African american man.Grew up in the projects and has a White best friend.So by far I’m not a racist but I’ve been around enough to know bullshit when I see it. Just like you just commented..so will I and it’s not hard to believe that when certain folks get out and around friends they tend to get what we call liquid courage.You feel the way you feel just like I do..thing is..the streets report alot quicker than the NEWS….And if you have never had a person more than once look at you and not accept you because the color of your skin then speak on how I can look at him and not find it hard to believe that he’s said N!GG3R more than once…..
I mean...
I’m not saying that couldn’t have been an issue but isn’t saying that someone flat out looks like a racist just as bad. Also, I don’t think any of us really know the story.
The pot calling the kettle back..!
Steelers 6 rings, Wildcats 7 Banners..!! Winning never gets old...!!!!
I look forward to the day when GOOD stories regarding our university make news.
