Western Kentucky University football coach Tyson Helton on Tuesday offered his first comments regarding two incidents over the weekend resulting in the dismissal of two players from the Hilltoppers program.
Redshirt junior running back Quinton Baker and redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Preston Mixon were kicked off the team over the weekend in connection to two separate reports of shots fired early Saturday morning.
The Bowling Green Police Department is still investigating both incidents and did not release names of those involved because, as of Tuesday, an incident report is still being drafted, according to BGPD spokesman Officer Ronnie Ward.
