Anfernee Jennings is delaying his arrival to offseason workouts with the Patriots after a mass shooting in his hometown of Dadeville, Alabama left four people dead and 28 injured on Saturday night according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Dadeville is a small town with less than 3,000 people.
Jennings, who starred at Dadeville high school before playing college football at Alabama, is one of the town’s most famous athletes.
At least two of the victims attended Dadeville High and grief counselors are being made available to the students.
“It is an unreal tragedy,” Dadeville High Principal Chris Hand told AL.
