TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police say Arizona Cardinals rookie receiver Damond Powell Jr. was wounded by gunfire outside his Ohio home. Toledo Police say the 22-year-old Powell was wounded in his driveway from shots fired from a car Friday evening. A University of Toledo Medical Center staffer said Saturday she had no information to release about him, but police had said his injuries didn’t appear to be life-threatening.

Police say witnesses reported seeing three men wearing masks in a gold-colored vehicle. Powell was signed this year as a free agent wide receiver by the Cardinals after two years at the University of Iowa. He was a star football and basketball player at Toledo’s Rogers High School.

Bebensee said his association with the Cass County Fair began about the same time he and his wife Dee moved to Atlantic in 1958.
