I know the NOTW is a tabloid but the story is being carried by other sources now. Even if the NOTW sensationalized the story, the simple fact that Cole would bring an air rifle to the training ground is stupidity beyond belief. You play for one of most high profiled clubs in the world, why would you do something so unprofessional? Then to wave it around without knowing whether or not it was loaded just doubled down the stupidity. To do it in the dressing room and to actually shoot someone? Stupidity doubled plus infinity. I know it wasn't a real gun but a young man was injured and all because of something that could have been easily avoided if a 30 year old man had any sense.

If it's true there was an injury, I can see this getting ugly if the police decide to investigate. Not to mention if the victim sues for damages or if the FA look into this too. Then Chelsea may have to "punish" Cole to avoid a PR debacle. Well, at least that's what would happen if this was in the US. Maybe it'll be handled differently in the UK.

Chelsea decline Cole comment

Club won't comment on report

Chelsea have declined to comment on reports that Ashley Cole accidentally shot a work placement student at the club's training ground.

The News of the World claims Cole did not know the air rifle was loaded

when he fired at 21-year-old Tom Cowan.

It was reported that the sports sciences student, who is on a one-year work placement at Chelsea, was hit in the side by a lead pellet at the training ground in Cobham.

Chelsea's medical staff reportedly treated the bleeding wound and Cowan did not require hospital treatment.

"We never comment on internal matters," Chelsea said in response to the report.

I wonder what would happen if I took a rifle into work and shot a work colleage? Hmmmm.

Ashley Cole... Great footballer, the best LB in the world.... But what an idiot he is off the pitch.

How much ammo does he want to give his haters? (excuse the pun).
