ANDERSON, Ind. - Portland Trail Blazer Zach Randolph was questioned by police and his brother was arrested after three men were shot inside a bar early Sunday. Randolph witnessed the shootings, detective Terry Sollars said. He cooperated and was released.
Randolph's 22-year-old brother, Roger, was arrested on three counts of criminal recklessness. The Blazers forward could not be reached for comment.
The shootings occurred about 2 a.m. at Sinbad's Lounge where Randolph, a native of nearby Marion, went with relatives and one of his business managers, Sollars said. An argument developed with others in the bar, and someone opened fire, injuring Phillip Corthen Jr., 30, Travis A. Wilson, 25, and Terry Hill, 29. None of the injuries was life threatening.
