Ashley Cole shoots fan, 21

aaron333 · 26 Feb 2011 at 22:19

ENGLAND ace Ashley Cole shot and wounded a 21-year-old student with a high-powered rifle at Chelsea's training ground.

The star was "larking" with his deadly .22 air gun in the dressing room last Sunday and fired at work placement boy Tom Cowan from just 5ft.

Anyone sub to NOTW who can paste the full article?

Nutter, why would he take the gun to training? :s

"deadly .22 air gun" doesn't have the right ring to it ha

What a ****. If this was deliberate he should be shot at back.

@optajoke

7 - This is the first time Ashley Cole has come close to convincingly hitting any kind of target in about 7 years. Rifle.

Not sure why you would take a rifle into training though.

The news of the world title is somewhat misleading (and so is mine).

Apparantely, the guy is a member of their sports science team.

So...was he shot or not then?

Something else is quite worrying - why is there a paid for subscription service for the News of the World?

You can take the boy out of the gunners... :cool:

It's part of growing up to be shot with an air gun, ok maybe not whilst you're in a Premiership club changing room, bit still

Once a gunner always a gunner.

I've got several scars to prove this :/

Older brothers with high powered rifles are excellent

What a load of tosh.

Sensationalism journalism is sensationalist.

explicit4u · 27 Feb 2011 at 00:28

I thought he actually shot and killed someone with a real gun! Pathetic journalism!

One of my older brothers shot my younger brother (he was about 4 at the time) in the head with an air rifle in a game of Russian Roulette.

CliffyBiro · 27 Feb 2011 at 00:40

What a numpty.

Valentino · 27 Feb 2011 at 00:44

How can you do russian roulette with a rifle? LOL!

Ashley Cole is such a gob****e.
It said on that Mirror website that he could be charged with ABH and I hope he does. He's paid a lot of money for a job that a lot of people would be honoured to have. As part of that job he must be a role model to children, so letting him get away with this just lets children think it's acceptable to fool around with air guns.

His rifle had an 8 shot magazine.

Oh, won't someone PLEASE think of the children?! :rolleyes:

Yes, he's been a tit, but why do people have to add emotion to any argument by including children and/or mothers pushing pushchairs?
