According to Cleveland TV station FOX8, the shooting occurred around 9 p.m. Sunday. Four suspects were arrested and charged with inducing panic, vandalism and improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, in which police officers found multiple loaded firearms with chambered rounds.
Harrison, who played for Ohio State from 2016-19, is in his second season with the Ravens, who selected him in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft. He has started six of the Ravens’ first seven games this season and has recorded 44 total tackles with one tackle for loss and one pass deflection.
