Calabasas, Calif. -- A man who suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound in a possible suicide attempt at a Calabasas motel is former Lions quarterback Erik Kramer, a broadcast outlet reported Wednesday.

Deputies were sent about 11 p.m. Eastern Tuesday to the motel in the 26500 block of Agoura Road to check a man's welfare and found the victim, who was airlifted to a hospital, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

He was identified in an NBC News report as Kramer, 50, who led the Lions to the 1991 NFC championship game before going on to play with the Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers.
