An investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Florida State coach Mike Norvell said Monday during his weekly news conference that he was at the hospital with Pritchard’s family Sunday night. “It’s obviously an extremely tragic event for the young man,” Norvell said. “Grateful for all the medical support he was able to receive. Our football team, coaches, family are all here to support them. We’re praying for all parts of him and the journey that’s ahead. Definitely appreciate the support from everybody in the community that we feel.” The shooting followed Florida State’s 31-17 win against No. 8 Alabama on Saturday, marking the Crimson Tide’s first non-conference regular-season road loss in 20 years.
