Obviously, Thomas has every right in the world to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That’s our system, and we should all be grateful for it.
Having said that, this is an incredible serious situation and Keller remains hospitalized. As I stated above, in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, he was in incredibly serious condition.

Hopefully, the justice system is able to get to the bottom of what happened and deal with the situation accordingly. A college football player being shot in the prime of his life is nothing short tragic.
