This kid is fortunate to still be alive.

NY Post reports Saturday afternoon, Corey Ballentine was selected by the Giants in the sixth round of the NFL draft, quite an achievement for a player from a Division II school in Topeka, Kansas.

Early the next morning, Ballentine and a close friend and teammate on the Washburn University football team were involved in a shooting that resulted in the death of Dwane Simmons and a gunshot injury to Ballentine that is considered non-life threatening.
