Aaron Hernandez's friend sues CNN for airing hospital photos (The Associated Press)

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A friend of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is suing CNN for airing images of him recovering in a hospital from a gunshot wound to the face he says was inflicted by Hernandez.

The Hartford Courant reports (http://cour.at/2g5FE5Q) Alexander Bradley filed the lawsuit in Connecticut federal court Tuesday.

Bradley says CNN invaded his privacy because he never provided it photos or authorized it to take photos of him.

Images of Bradley in a Florida hospital in 2013 were shown during a CNN special report on Hernandez last year.
