Jadeveon Clowney's father denied bond on attempted murder charges

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- The father of Houston TexanslinebackerJadeveon Clowney was denied bond on Wednesday after being charged with attempted murder in a shooting at a bar in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

A lawyer asked for bond because David Morgan was hurt in the shooting Tuesday. Local media reported that police opposed the request because of the seriousness of the charges.

Morgan also was charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

A police report said Morgan was removed from the bar for sitting on a stage. Police said he was seen later at the back of the property before firing several rounds at Braxton Homesley. Police say Homesley returned fire.

Officers picked up Morgan at Piedmont Medical Center. He was being treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Clowney, who is currently on the Texans' physically unable to perform list, was said to be "highly upset" after family members told him of his father's arrest, according to the Rock Hill Herald.

Houston coach Bill O'Brien would not comment on the arrest. He did say that the Texans were supportive of all their players.

"We want our players to have success," he said after practice in Houston. "We want them to go into each and every day knowing they have our support. I believe our players know that."
