PHILADELPHIA – Marvin Harrison will not be facing charges in the shooting that occurred outside of a Philadelphia business owned by the Indianapolis Colts receiver.District Attorney Lynn Abraham decided to wait until after the Colts season was over to share the findings in the investigation of the April 29 shooting that injured three people.

With the Colts’ season coming to a close with an OT loss in San Diego over the weekend, Abraham called a press conference on Tuesday morning to announce the results.

“At this juncture we are unable to proceed with a criminal prosecution”, said Abraham. “We have had nine or so various versions of what was supposed to have happened”. Abraham also said as prosecutors they “cannot vouch for the credibility of these witnesses because they have given so many contradictory comments”.

She went on to describe the witnesses as “inherently untrustworthy” but added there may yet be the possibility of a prosecution in the case if police could find credible witnesses.

Throughout the investigation, Harrison said he was not involved in the actual shooting but sources told ESPN that Harrison admitted to being in a fistfight around that time. Evidence obtained during the investigation also verified that six casings found at that crime scene matched the type of gun that is owned by Harrison.

Pennsylvania gun laws state that if a gun is discharged during a crime, the owner of that gun can be charged even if he is not the actual shooter.
