Tigers RB shot at concert

Sports at a glance

LAUREL, Miss. — Missouri star running back Ahmad Hardy is in stable condition after being shot at a concert in Mississippi, school officials said Monday.

Missouri’s football program announced in a statement that Hardy was shot early Sunday morning and that the All-America running back underwent surgery for the gunshot wound.

WJTV 12 News reported Hardy was shot in the upper leg, according to police, and the Laurel (Mississippi) Leader-Call reported the shooting happened at an outdoor concert at a bike club.

Three people of interest were in custody, police told the Leader-Call. The scene was described as a “melee,” noting that at least two people were injured and it was a miracle others were not.

He earned first-team Associated Press All-America honors last season and was one of three finalists for the Doak Walker Award given annually to college football’s top running back. He rushed for 1,649 yards to rank second among all Bowl Subdivision players.

Sinner win streak grows

ROME — Jannik Sinner’s winning streak reached 25 matches after beating Alexei Popyrin 6-2, 6-0 before his home fans in the third round of the Italian Open.

The top-ranked Sinner set the tone when he broke 60th-ranked Popyrin in the opening game. Sinner is heavily favored to win the Rome tournament with Carlos Alcaraz sidelined due to a right wrist injury.

If Sinner raises the trophy in Rome he’ll become the second man after Novak Djokovic to triumph at all nine Masters 1000 events.
