Florida State Linebacker Ethan Pritchard Was Shot in the Back of the Head, Father Says

On Sunday night, Florida State linebacker Ethan Pritchard was shot in the back of the head while driving his aunt home in Havana, Florida, about 30 minutes outside Tallahassee, and on Monday the program said he was in critical but stable condition at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare.
After a family gathering and the team's Aug. 30 win, Ethan Pritchard offered to drive his aunt and her 2-year-old home as their car entered Havana Heights Apartments around 25 minutes from FSU's campus.
Earl Pritchard said Ethan is heavily sedated as doctors at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare monitor his head swelling before assessing the wound; he was "actually in the car taking my sister around the corner to her daughter's house to drop her off."
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell visited Ethan Pritchard on Friday and a GoFundMe page organized for Pritchard's family raised over $25,000 in its first hours, reaching $86,152 toward a $100K goal.
Local officials say the investigation is ongoing with no suspects named, a prayer walk and vigil at 6 p.m. Sept. 3 was planned, and the Florida State Seminoles prepare for their Saturday home game against East Texas A&M.
