HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — Hampton University says a basketball player is in critical condition after being accidentally shot.

Hampton police say Theo Smalling, a 22-year-old senior from Tampa, was shot just after midnight on Saturday morning.

Police spokeswoman Paula Ensley says the starting forward and captain was in a parking lot with Dominique Devon Smith when Smith mishandled a gun and accidentally shot Smalling.

It could not be immediately determined if Smith has a lawyer. The 21-year-old has been charged with reckless handling of a firearm.

In a statement on its website, Hampton University says Smalling is in critical condition, although it does not say which hospital he's being treated at.
