The other day, writing about Williams' death, I said the shootings of Williams, Steelers linebacker Joey Porter and Nuggets guard Julius Hodge _ all in and around Denver since 2003 _ had at least three things in common.
I mentioned guns, pro athletes as victims and roughly 2 o'clock as the time of night. Several correspondents pointed out one of the other things they had in common: All three famous shooting victims were African-Americans.
