Former Atlanta Braves All-Star Dale Murphy took to Twitter on Sunday night to say that his son had been shot in the eye with a rubber bullet while he was “peacefully protesting for justice for George Floyd” in Denver.
Murphy, who played 15 seasons in Atlanta, did not identify which of his seven sons was injured. Fox News identified him as Tyson.
“His story is not unique,” Murphy wrote. “Countless others have also experienced this use of excessive police force while trying to have their voices heard.”
Murphy posted a photo of his son’s injury and credited one stranger for handing out goggles to protesters and another for driving his son to the emergency room.
