A former Akron football player is recovering in an area hospital Sunday after he was accidentally shot in the stomach by a teammate early Saturday morning.
Andrew Pratt, a wide receiver who participated in Akron's pro day earlier this week, was in stable condition and doctors told the Akron Beacon Journal they expect him to recover. Police said no charges would be filed because both players involved agreed that the shooting was an accident.
Pratt entered the apartment of neighbor and Zips offensive tackle Scott Boyett unannounced around 3 a.m. Saturday morning. Boyett said he mistook Pratt for a burglar and shot him in the stomach.
