I've never understood how/why people feel the need to actually SHOOT another human being.....

Hope he makes full recovery.

2 rookies getting shot in the same year. Just might be a first. I think though Andray Blatche made a full recovery. Hopefully Hodge will too.

Moral of this story - Don't dress like a Gangsta:

DENVER (AP) — Nuggets rookie Julius Hodge was "dressed like a gang member" at a nightclub hours before he was shot and wounded, and someone had flashed a gang sign at him, the club manager said.

Hodge, 22, was released from a hospital on Sunday, a day after he was shot three times in the legs while driving on a north Denver freeway. Authorities said they have no suspects and have not established a motive.

"He had a bandanna over his head, and maybe they thought he was in a gang," Paladium club manager Jose Ramirez told the Rocky Mountain News in Tuesday's editions.

Hodge had gone to the club to talk to a friend, hip-hop artist Juelz Santana, who was performing there, Adams County investigators said.

Ramirez said someone in the club's parking lot had flashed a gang sign at Hodge. It wasn't immediately clear whether Ramirez witnessed the incident.

The Nuggets have said Hodge is expected to fully recover and could play again in two or three weeks.

Investigators said that after Hodge left the nightclub, he and a passenger were on Interstate 76 when another vehicle pulled alongside and fired several shots into Hodge's car.

Hodge stopped and his passenger, whose name hasn't been released, flagged down another motorist who took the pair to a hospital. Investigators said the passenger was slightly injured.
