MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Former Pro Bowl center Barret Robbins was shot several times when he struggled with a police officer investigating a burglary at a South Beach office.

Robbins was taken to a hospital Saturday night in critical condition. An update on the condition of the former Oakland Raiders offensive lineman, who went AWOL during the 2003 Super Bowl, was not immediately available Sunday morning.

Miami Beach police said Robbins was confronted by a detective investigating a burglary report in a building that houses a nightclub, gym and jewelry store. Robbins and the detective had a "violent struggle" before Robbins was shot, police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said.

"The officer was literally fighting for his life, trying to get Mr. Robbins from getting his gun. That's when the shots rang out," Hernandez said.

Robbins, 31, was shot several times in the torso, Hernandez said. Detective Mike Muley, who fired the shots, had minor head injuries from the scuffle and was treated and released from a hospital.

Robbins was taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Hernandez did not immediately have Robbins' condition Sunday, and a hospital official did not immediately return a page.

Hernandez said Robbins had not yet been charged in the case because authorities had not been able to interview him.

Robbins was arrested last month in San Francisco for hitting a security guard at a night club.

The often-troubled player is best remembered for disappearing the night before the 2003 Super Bowl in San Diego. He spent Super Bowl Sunday in a hospital and later acknowledged that he had stopped taking his medicine for depression and bipolar disorder. The Raiders lost 48-21 to Tampa Bay.

Robbins was released by Oakland in July, a week after he and two other players were fined three game checks for testing positive for the steroid THG.

Robbins played all nine of his pro seasons with Oakland and made the Pro Bowl after the 2002 season, but did not play in the game. A year after missing the final 14 games of 2001 with an injured right knee, he was a pivotal part of an offensive line that helped the Raiders produce the league's top offense.

If he was seriuosly bi-polar (and it is over diagnosed these days), then it really isn't shocking.

temley06 · 01-16-2005, 04:07 PM

Agreed on both points.

Schmidty · 01-16-2005, 08:20 PM

Very sad.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 09:29 PM

The sad thing is that he likely has either a serious Bipolar illness, a serious polysubstance abuse problem, or both. Regardless of the illness, he is likely avoiding treatment (as many people who have Bipolar illness do) and this may have been avoided if he would have been been compliant with treatment. Of course, I'm just speculating without knowing any of the facts.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-16-2005, 10:14 PM

Actually EF, you may not be too far off, at least if Robbins own admission of going off his medication just before the Super Bowl is accurate.

All I know is that even several shots to the torso won't take a Raider down!

Seriously, though, he needs some serious help.

Nope.. but a good ankle tackle will.

He's now charged with 3 counts of attempted murder. This has been a pretty incredible fall.

Nah... "cheap" would have been making some mention of Todd Marinovich or the Jay Schroeder-Jim Lachey trade.

That begs the question: "How is Bo Jackson's Hip doing today?"

Actually two: "And is it Hall of Fame material?"

See, this is completely uncalled for. It is like me bringing up Jack Squirek.

I will never forgive the Raiders for trading Jim Lachey. It was the beginning of the end for me and my Raider fanhood.

I am just suprised that Al didn't go sign Dexter in the offseason.
