Vick had to be restrained in confrontation before shooting

Just minutes before someone was shot outside Eagles quarterback Michael Vick’s birthday party, Vick got into a confrontation and had to be restrained by friends and placed inside a limousine that took him away, the Commonwealth’s Attorney in Virginia Beach said today.

Vick is not a suspect in the shooting, but Commonwealth’s Attorney Harvey L. Bryant addressed Vick’s actions before the shooting when he discussed the case today.

“There were some confrontations between individuals and between groups and Michael Vick was involved in one of those confrontations,” Bryant said, per WAVY. "[It was] a confrontation that involved shouting, words passing, some bumping.”

Bryant went on to say that friends restrained Vick and put him in a limo, but that Vick then got back out to again confront someone. Bryant would not identify the person Vick was confronting.

“In terms of just using good judgment, at one point, he got in the limousine, and should have left at that point,” Bryant said of Vick. “He got out of the limousine, and with the help of several friends, he was returned to to the limousine and left.”
