GAINESVILLE -- Florida football players Andre Caldwell and Reggie Lewis and former Gator Dee Webb are under investigation for their roles in an early Sunday morning incident here, local sources and published reports said.
According to a report in Tuesday's Gainesville Sun, police responded to a call concerning a gun shot fired into an apartment near Webb's at The Cambridgeon SW 27th Street.
After finding a shell casing behind Webb's apartment, officers met with Webb, who was accompanied by Caldwell, Lewis and another UF student, according to the Sun.
Officers then searched Webb's apartment and confiscated two rifles, an AR-15 and an AK-47. They spotted the AR-15 in the apartment through a sliding glass door. Officers later found a 12-gauge shotgun and a loaded .38 caliber revolver on seats in a vehicle in which three players rode that morning.
None were arrested because Webb legally owned the guns and police could not determined which, if any of the players, fired the shot.
Gainesville police spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg did not return a several calls seeking confirmation of the incident's details. Police said documentation would not be available until at least the end of the week.
