Injuries Near Maradona
At least five reporters reported slight injuries yesterday after being hit by pellets from an air rifle fired from the home of the soccer star DIEGO MARADONA in Moreno, Argentina. It was not clear if Maradona himself was the shooter, but reporters at the home said they they saw him carrying a gun. One photographer said he took a photo of Maradona firing.
Maradona, weary of playing and hampered by injuries, said Tuesday that he was quitting Newell's Old Boys of the Argentine League. (AP)  SPORTS PEOPLE: SOCCER
