TCU defensive end Devonte Fields was attacked and robbed at his off-campus residence on Tuesday morning, according to a report later in the day from TCU360.com.
Give the entire story a read as it looks like the Horned Frog sophomore escaped a very serious attack:The report said that Fields went outside to start his car, and then returned to his house when three suspects came up behind him. One of the suspects hit Fields on the top of the head with a black semi-automatic pistol and pushed him into his house.
Two of the three suspects began to assault Fields with their fists, while the third suspect stole items including a cellphone and an Xbox video game system, according to the report.
The struggle between Fields and the suspects ended up on the driveway. One of the suspects then pointed a semi-automatic pistol at Fields and told him he was going to kill him, according to the report.
The report said Fields grabbed the right forearm of one of the suspects and five shots were fired into the air.
Fields escaped without major injury but has decided not to press charges. Meanwhile, the police investigation of the crime is on hold.
