VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Virginia Beach Police say Michael Vick has been interviewed about a shooting that took place outside a nightclub where he had celebrated his birthday.

Police spokesman Adam Bernstein said the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback answered questions at police headquarters Monday afternoon. He said Vick is not a suspect, and no arrest has been made.

Authorities have not identified the man who was wounded in the shooting just after 2 a.m. Friday. Several news outlets identified him as Quanis Phillips, one of the co-defendants in the dogfighting case that landed Vick in federal prison for 18 months. A hospital spokesman said Phillips was discharged Friday afternoon.

An NFL spokesman said Monday the league is looking into the shooting.
