>> Williams killed when limo sprayed with bullets
>> Associated Press
>>
>> DENVER -- Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and
>> killed in a drive-by shooting early Monday, his limousine sprayed with
>> bullets in downtown Denver.
>>
>> Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. from
>> the scene and told him three people had been shot, and the 24-year-old
>> Williams had been killed. The killing came hours after the Broncos
>> were eliminated from the playoff race.
>>
>> A little after 2 a.m., a white Hummer limousine was fired on from a
>> vehicle that pulled up along its side, police spokesman Sonny Jackson
>> said. There were at least eight bullet holes in the limo.
>>
>> Three people in the limo were hit and were taken to 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 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. Hours earlier, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23
>> in overtime.
>>
>> "Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible
>> tragedy," Saccomano said.
>>
>> Pro Bowl player Champ Bailey was among the players and team staff
>> members who gathered at Denver Health Medical Center, where Williams'
>> body was taken.
>>
>>
>> "He had a big heart and a lot of courage. It's a tragedy, a complete
>> tragedy. It's sickening."
>> -- Cedric Smith, Broncos assistant coach
>> "He had a big heart and a lot of courage," said Cedric Smith,
>> assistant strength and conditioning coach. "It's a tragedy, a complete
>> tragedy. It's sickening."
>>
>> Williams teamed with Bailey to give Denver one of the top cornerback
>> tandems in the NFL. Williams finished the season with 88 tackles, 78
>> of them solo, and four interceptions.
>>
>> Players and coaches are off Monday. They were scheduled to meet
>> Tuesday before heading home for the offseason.
>>
>> On Sunday against the 49ers, Williams had three tackles and returned
>> two punts for 50 yards before leaving the game with a shoulder injury
>> late in the second half. After the game he said he was planning to
>> wait a few weeks before determining if he needed an operation.
>>
>> In December, Williams spoke of his desire to return to his hometown of
>> Fort Worth, Texas, this offseason to talk to kids about staying out of
>> gangs.
>>
>> Williams, a second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State in 2005,
>> made an immediate impact on the Broncos. He started nine times in his
>> rookie season following a stellar college career.
>>
>> The white stretch Hummer limousine sat in a snowbank beside Speer
>> Boulevard, a main street through downtown Denver. On the driver's
>> side, at least three bullet holes were visible near the front, and
>> four more near the back.
>>
>> Police and evidence technicians worked amid snow and ice from recent
>> storms, using small tent-like yellow plastic markers to indicate
>> possible pieces of evidence.
