Ten people, including Dell, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Dell sustained a gunshot flesh wound that \u201cwent through one side of his leg and exited the other side,\u201d according to KPRC. One 16-year-old suspect was arrested and is in custody.<\/p>\n<p>A video\u00a0provided by the Seminole County Sheriff\u2019s Office shows the shootout in a crowd of people running for their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Dell was visiting his mother in his hometown of Daytona Beach.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Texans QB C.J. Stroud, HC DeMeco Ryans Raved About Tank Dell Before Shooting<\/h2>\n<p>Before the shooting incident, the Houston Texans\u2019 dynamic receiver had made a full recovery from a broken fibula that abruptly ended an incredible record-setting rookie season.<\/p>\n<p>Dell had 709 yards receiving and set a franchise rookie record with seven touchdown receptions before breaking his left fibula on Sunday, December 3. The injury occurred when\u00a0Dell\u2019s leg was rolled up on\u00a0during a block on a\u00a0Dameon Pierce\u00a0touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Dell had been participating in the Texans\u2019 offseason conditioning program and extra throwing sessions with Pro Bowl quarterback\u00a0C.J. Stroud.<\/p>\n<p>Stroud raved about what an improvement Dell had made during the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe looks great,\u201d\u00a0Stroud said\u00a0in an April 15 press conference. \u201cHe\u2019s gotten a lot better. Mentally, I think for both of us, really all of the rookies coming into year two, everything is starting to slow down, and the wheels aren\u2019t turning so much up in your head. You\u2019re starting to play ball. Being able to throw with him in L.A. was really big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTank is back and he\u2019s starting to get in with our guys here with the offseason programs,\u201d Ryans said. \u201cSo, I\u2019m excited to have Tank back. That was a devastating loss for us last year, losing him. He\u2019s such a dynamic player for us, such an inspiration for myself, a lot of our team. So, I\u2019m excited to see Tank back working with our guys and excited to see him make that same jump I talked about from year one to year two.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Texans Head Coach DeMeco Ryans Offers Update on Tank Dell<\/h2>\n<p>Since the April 27 incident, Tank Dell has been back at the Houston Texans\u2019 training facility to meet with team officials, including head coach\u00a0DeMeco Ryans\u00a0and team owner Steve McNair.<\/p>\n<p>Dell is healing quickly and is expected to make a full recovery before training camp in July, per KPRC. He\u2019s likely to be cleared for physical activity at some point this spring, but rehab comes first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like Tank will make a full recovery,\u201d\u00a0McNair said\u00a0at the team\u2019s annual charity golf classic on May 6. \u201cWe saw him in the office the other day and he looked good, in good spirits. But he\u2019ll have to rehab and get back to where he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When pressed as to whether Dell is expected to be ready for Week 1,\u00a0Ryans said, \u201cTank should be fine.\u201d He shared that he\u2019s spoken to Dell several times since the shooting and had a \u201cgood conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"361c120346e61b40de45bec823cf21eb\">\n<article>DeMeco Ryans on Tank Dell.
