Given Sean's history, you have to wonder if this wasn't a setup the whole time to get him to come there , so they could shoot him. Given the kitchen knife, which sounds to me like a message, and the location of the injury, I'm wondering if they weren't trying to "de-man" him for lack of a better term and just missed. Or maybe they were just trying to shoot him in the leg to, again, send a message. Either way, this is just wrong. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, especially his daughter.
