Sad news out of Denver, where Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed early on New Year's Day. Williams was 24.

Williams had been at a nightclub and was shot while sitting in a limousine shortly after leaving, near 11th and Grant in Denver. Police called the incident a drive-by shooting, saying a vehicle pulled up next to the limousine and someone from that vehicle shot into the limousine and drove off.

Williams was the Broncos' second-round draft pick in 2005 after a successful career at Oklahoma State. He had been Denver's starting cornerback since early in his rookie year.

A woman in the limousine with Williams was also shot. The woman's identity and condition have not been released. Reports are unclear, but a third person may have been shot as well.
