Tobias Dorzon may not be a name that many NFL fans will remember, but he did spend some time in the league, as he just almost had his life taken away from him and another instance of senseless gun violence in this country.
The former NFL player turned chef and restaurateur was one of two people shot Tuesday night during a robbery in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Dorzon and his companion were shot multiple times by four gunmen who opened fire with semiautomatic weapons, police said.
They were taken to the hospital and are expected to survive.
The shooting happened on Wednesday as the suspects attempted to rob them as they returned from dinner, the Hyattsville Police Department said in a Facebook post.
