Florida State Linebacker Ethan Pritchard Shot, In Critical Condition in Havana

Florida State linebacker Ethan Pritchard, a freshman and former four-star recruit from Seminole High School, is in critical but stable condition after being shot Sunday night while visiting family in Havana, Florida. The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. when Pritchard was found wounded inside a vehicle; authorities believe his car was mistakenly targeted. He was immediately hospitalized and remains in intensive care as investigations led by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement continue.
