The story said he was shot in the stomach. Had surgery last night, and I have surgery again today.

Horrible.

Horrible news. Glad he’s in recovery but sh*t like this needs to stop. Not safe anywhere.

I second all these comments and prayers. Appears to be a great guy and leader.

8:30 at night. Doesn’t seem unreasonable you could feel safe near the campus at that time of day.

I’m not trying to be political but with all the attention on the generally rare mass shootings with ak 15s or whatever they are (I’m not a gun guy) we lose sight of the fact that the shootings like Sammy’s are far more prevalent. Handgun violence in our neighborhoods is a major problem.

Sammy is one tough warrior.

Too much gun violence in this country, handguns or automatic rifles. It’s just a fact.

1. Get well soon sammy
2. This piece of trash hopefully spends the rest of his life in prison and gets caught
3. I have a feeling sammy is going to turn this into an inspirational story. He is such a class act and it’s crazy it happens to someone like him. He is a high character guy and he’s the last guy to deserve something like this. Prayers to making a full recovery.

Donated. After reading it, my prayers for now will be that he can walk normally again. I don't believe we will ever see him wrestle for TOSU again. I'm hopeful he'll someday be able to do freestyle. Sad but grateful for the support he seems to have.

I am devastated to hear about the damage Sam has suffered but grateful he's alive and has a good long term prognosis.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching him wrestle over the last several years. He competes with a level of skill and passion that few can match. Sometimes you just want to thank someone for the pleasure you've gotten from watching them compete. That is definitely the case with Sam Sasso.

Sam--thank you so much for the amazing job you've done as a competitor. Being your fan has been a privilege.

I am pulling for you heart and soul to make a full recovery.
