The University of Louisville is encouraging folks to call 911 if former dance coach Todd Sharp is spotted around campus.
Sharp allegedly shot himself in the leg in a hotel where the Louisville baseball team was holding an event.
Here are more details from WHAS:
Former coach of the University of Louisville’s Ladybirds dance team is recovering after an apparent accidental shooting at a downtown hotel.
Officials with Louisville Metro Police and UofL spokesperson John Karman said the incident happened on Jan. 24 at the Marriott downtown.
Sharp’s attorney Larry Wilder told WHAS11 News his client had just gotten out of an Uber and was reaching into his pocket for his phone when his gun accidentally discharged, hitting him in the leg.
Wilder said Sharp had no idea the Louisville baseball team was holding an event at the hotel and was there for something unrelated.
He said there was no ill intent, calling the shooting a complete accident.

Sharp blasted Louisville AD Vince Tyra on Twitter yesterday:
FAKE news instigated by a FAKE AD and his corrupt administration. It’s time for the fans and the public to hear the truth. Silent no more. Stay tuned. #NotMyAD #TruthBeTold

Sharp was reportedly fired in December 2018 after the university alleged that $30,000 was missing from the dance team’s revenue.
