Overview
- Hardy was shot in the upper leg at an outdoor concert in Laurel, Mississippi, on Sunday, and at least one other person was hurt.
- Laurel police say 20-year-old Rashodrick Harris was arrested in Paducah, Kentucky, in connection with the shooting, with extradition to Mississippi pending.
- Officials expect two counts of aggravated assault, and Kentucky jail records list an additional fugitive-from-out-of-state warrant.
- Investigators reviewed surveillance video that captured a license plate and a victim later identified Harris from a still image, while three earlier detainees were released without charges.
- Hardy had surgery, returned to Columbia to begin rehab, and his return to play remains uncertain, a key question given his All-America 2025 season with 1,649 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns.
