News wires are reporting that Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, who attended the University of Miami, was shot in his Palmetto Bay home early this morning.

Miami's ABC-TV 10 is reporting that Taylor was shot in the groin around 1:45 Monday morning. The police are investigating whether the shooting was linked to a robbery. Taylor's family had asked that no information on his condition be released.

In May 2006 Robert Powell wrote about Taylor's violent past for the New Times.
