WASHINGTON (AP) — According to a police official familiar with the case former Georgetown and NBA player Charles Smith has been seriously injured in a shooting at his Prince George’s County home.

Police are still investigating a motive in the shooting, according to the police official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the information has not been publicly released.

Police say a man found with a gunshot wound at the home in Bowie was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in serious condition.

Spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Reedy says a search of the home Friday turned up a large quantity of cocaine and evidence of a gambling operation.

Smith played at Georgetown in the late 1980s and later with the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves.
