Two Vanderbilt players shot

Vanderbilt players Tae Daley and Frank Coppet were shot  as they attempted to get a teammate’s cellphone back from thieves.

Coppet, a freshman defensive back and Daley, a freshman safety were both shot but not seriously injured by yet-to-be-found assailants on Monday night as they tried to regain a cellphone for fellow freshman Donoven Tennyson – a wide receiver – who was the victim of a heist after meeting would-be buyers outside a Chilli’s.

After that, Coppet pulled a pellet pistol on the thieves in an attempt to get the guns back, but was immediately shot at with a pistol.

The university has said it will investigate.
