South Florida DB Hassan Childs hospitalized after shooting

South Florida senior defensive back Hassan Childs is hospitalized in stable condition after he was involved in an off-campus shooting Saturday, the school announced.

Bulls coach Charlie Strong also released a statement on Sunday, saying the team was "deeply concerned" about the overnight incident.

"Thankfully, Hassan is in stable condition and being well cared for, and no one else was (injured)," Strong said in a statement.

"There is an ongoing investigation of the incident and we are in the process of gathering further information. Out of respect for the integrity of the investigation, we cannot comment further at this time."

Strong and the school did not provide information on where the off-campus shooting took place or in which hospital Childs is receiving treatment.

Childs, who is from Kissimmee, Fla., recorded 16 tackles in eight games and also saw action on punt returns last season. He has collected 28 tackles and three interceptions in 26 career contests for the Bulls.
