Broncos' Williams killed Monday morning
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press
DENVER -- Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in downtown Denver early Monday morning, police said.
Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. from the scene of the shooting and told him three people had been shot and that Williams had been killed.
A little after 2 a.m., a white Hummer limousine was sprayed with bullets from a vehicle that pulled up along its side, said Sonny Jackson, spokesperson for the Denver Police Department.
Three people in the limousine were hit and were taken to area hospitals, where one man was pronounced dead, Jackson said. The other man and woman who were shot were not identified.
Jackson said police were searching for the suspects and interviewing witnesses.
"We have no motive yet," Jackson said. "We're hoping to talk with witnesses to find out where they were coming from, and that might give us some clues."
Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization.
"Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible tragedy," Saccomano said.
Hours before the shooting, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime, eliminating them from the playoff race.
The 24-year-old Williams finished the season with 88 tackles, 78 of them solo, and four interceptions.
On Sunday against the 49ers, he had three tackles and returned two punts for 50 yards before leaving the game with a shoulder injury late in the second half.
Williams, a second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State in 2005, made an immediate impact on the Broncos, starting nine times in his rookie season following a stellar career at Oklahoma State, where he totaled 11 interceptions and scored three touchdowns on punt returns.
Players and coaches are off Monday. They were scheduled to meet Tuesday before heading home for the offseason.

R.I.P.
These NFL players need stay away from clubs downtown they are getting involved in shooting crimes all the time it seems. Tank Johnson's bodyguard got killed just a couple weeks ago in downtown Chi.. the same bodyguard who got caught with a large quantity of marijuana at Johnsons home, prior to the shooting.

This is really sad news. He was one of my favorite defensive players, because he was so short and scrappy.
Such a tough blow for Denver fans, and I know they live and die with their Broncos. I feel bad for laughing at them yesterday.
And to have to go at 24 is just terribly unfortunate, wether you play in the NFL or clean the parking lots at McDonalds for a living.
RIP, Darrent Williams.
