Harrington, Jackson recall shootout at club involving 2006 Pacers
Warning: Video contains coarse language
Former teammates Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson shared the wild story of the shootout involving their 2006 Indiana Pacers team on the latest episode of the "All the Smoke" podcast.
As Harrington explained, the team had a day off during training camp and decided to spend it at a strip club called Club Rio.
"I should've known the night was going to be crazy because I come out of this restaurant called Champs and Jamaal Tinsley's driving by, so I wave him down," Harrington said. "So I'm like, 'Maal, Maal, Maal.' So he pull over. So I'm like, 'What you about to do?' So as I stick my head in the car, in the back seat of his car, he has like 25 guns."
Jackson then interjected: "So we had all just got our gun license. The sheriff had came to my house and gave us all gun licenses like two weeks before that."
It wasn't until the next day, while getting his hair cut, that Harrington learned Jackson and Tinsley had been involved in a shootout.
A police spokesperson said at the time that Jackson fired five shots from a 9mm pistol outside the club after being hit in the mouth and struck by a car. No one was seriously injured in the incident, though Jackson did require stitches in his lip and face.
