Sounds like more than a little. Maybe something related to
her mental health issues.

 

[VAMike23]

Wow. Not a pleasant story. For Chamique's sake I hope some of the details aren't true (Ex: the part with the gun).

 

[pinotbear]

Anybody besides me wish The Summitt was still a ..nope,nope,nope, don't go there, I'm sorry Lord, I shouldn't a-oughta a-said that, an' the starvin' pygmies in New Guinea, Amen.

Just to make this clear: I'm not making fun of the incident, nor the underlying medical/behavioral issues. Once again, it's all about the fans.

"After breaking the driver’s side window, a rear passenger’s window and the rear window, Holdsclaw produced a handgun, fired inside the SUV and fled the scene, the report said."

Totally out of control - with a friggen' gun! I think she's due for a state enforced "time out." She might feel right at home wearing one of those jailhouse orange jump suits.

What Pinotbear said - sorta'.

Clearly, her mental health is a major issue now. This is not just about her depression any more. People with depression do not act in such a violent manner, do they?

 

[TDiNozzo]

Another report.. Lacy was in the vehicle when the shot was fired...

God bless her and heal her.

 

[Vowelguy]

Sad to hear.
Not something to be made light of.

You're assuming that it's "just simple depression". There are a myriad of mental health concerns that might include depression as a symptom, in addition to other erratic behavior.

Best wishes for her and everyone involved. Shocking to say the least...

 

[CL82]

Wow, just wow

Very sad...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Oh no!

 

[OneTrickPony]

Let's hope this is a cry for help, and it's heard...

 

[Fiftyish]

Sad to hear.

+1

 

[cferraro04]

I would be concerned that there wasn't even more to this story...remember Lacy said she smelled gasoline when she started driving. Was Holdsclaw hoping to ignite the gasoline when she fired into the car?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Not surprised by this at all.

Best of luck in her future.

Yikes! I am not sure what disturbs me the most. The fact that this happened, or the fact that it happened on Hemphill Avenue. We drive down that street ALL THE TIME when we take my son to Georgia Tech. In fact, Hemphill Avenue goes directly into the Tech campus with student residence halls lining it. Hemphill Ave also runs through the Home Park neighborhood, one of the highest crime areas in Atlanta. Thank God no one was hurt. I hope Chamique gets the help she so clearly needs.

 

[Phil]

Sorry to hear the news, like others, I hope she gets the help she needs.

 

[terif831]

So sad to hear this. Chamique has always been one of my favorite players, and definitely my favorite Lady Vol. Hope she gets help and is able to recover from whatever is going on here.

I just drove by Rocky Mountain pizza on Hemphill & 10th this weekend after the Georgia Tech game...!

Great arena by the way...better than the old Spectrum in Houston!

Glad she turned herself in, and nothing else happened...​

 

[speedoo]

Yes, I am very relieved she turned herself in. Things could have gone very badly, with the police after her, and they knew she was armed. I just hope she has someone to help her, a good lawyer obviously, but more importantly at least one great therapist.

 

[meyers7]

Not good. Hope it's not as bad as it sounds. Very sad story.
