    Chron says Fort Bend County; another site says 300 Leeland St. Where did this happen?

    This thread title should be changed to something like "Carl Landry Shot in the Leg".

    I ignored the thread for about 5 minutes, because I automatically consider anything written in all-caps to be worthless. I assumed, in this case, it was referring to some shot Landry attempted in a recent game.

    Looks like he'll be out 1 to 2 weeks.

    Carl Landry to miss 1-2 weeks due to gunshot

    Rockets' Landry shot in leg, treated for wound
    Incident followed return from team's New Orleans trip
    By FRAN BLINEBURY Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle
    March 17, 2009, 9:19AM

    Rockets forward Carl Landry suffered a gunshot wound to his lower leg early this morning about an hour after the team arrived home from New Orleans.

    The shooting took place near Landry’s Fort Bend County home. He was treated for a flesh wound at Memorial Hermann Hospital and released. Landry is expected to be out of the lineup for one to two weeks.

    Following the Rockets’ 95-84 win over the Hornets, the team charter flight landed at Hobby Airport just past midnight.

    After driving home, Landry, 25, went back out to pick up a late meal at a fast food restaurant not far from his house. His car was first side-swiped by a passing car and then the occupants of the vehicle slowed down and fired two shots, the second of which struck him in the leg, according to team officials.

    Landry, in his second professional season with the Rockets, had played 23 minutes, totaling 12 points and six rebounds, and played a key role in the Rockets’ win at New Orleans. He is averaging 9.3 points and 5 rebounds this season.
