It was a close call for former NFL star Marvin Harrison after a shooting in Philadelphia, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Daily News reports that the 41-year-old former Indianapolis Colts receiver was driving in the Wynnefield Heights section of the city on Saturday, around 3:20 a.m., when he was flagged down by a man dressed in boxers who was fleeing an apartment.
According to the Daily News, the man told Harrison two men had broken into his apartment and asked him to call 911. After Harrison let the man into his pickup truck, the two gunmen ran outside and fired two shots, striking the tire of Harrison's truck, before fleeing the scene, according to the Daily News.
The Daily News reports that neither Harrison nor the man he helped suffered injuries. The victim also claimed that the men stole $500 from him.
Harrison, a Philadelphia native, was an 8-time Pro-Bowler, 3-time First-Team All-Pro, and won a Super Bowl while playing 13 seasons with the Colts.
Prior to Saturday’s reported incident, Harrison was connected to two other gun incidents in Philly.
In 2008, Dwight Dixon accused Harrison of shooting him in the hand after a bar fight. While Dixon sued Harrison, criminal charges were never filed due to a lack of evidence. Dixon was shot again in July of 2009, two blocks away from a bar owned by Harrison. He died from his injuries two months later. His murder remains unsolved.
In 2010, Harrison was stopped by police for allegedly traveling the wrong way on a one-way street. While no charges were filed, police confiscated a 9mm handgun after Harrison allegedly placed a weapon-like item on the backseat of his SUV, according to investigators.

Firefighters were still combing through the blackened wreckage Sunday morning as neighbors expressed their concern about the mother and father who lived in the home and took care of their adult daughter.
"If you ever needed something, like she would give it to you," neighbor Brion Cameron said of the household matriarch.
Earlier, a relative collapsed at the scene.
Pastor James Johnson said the residents of the house were "a very sweet family. ... They all loved the Lord."
The husband and wife who lived there had two grandchildren, he said.
The blaze, which started at around 4 a.m. Sunday, overtook the home on the corner of Madison Avenue and South 15th Street. Officials are investigating the origin and cause of the fire.
Several parked cars and one person were struck by stay bullets Sunday afternoon at 2nd and Champlost Streets in Olney.

A Lufthansa jet, bound for Germany, was forced to dump fuel, circle the area for hours and return to Philadelphia on Sunday after experiencing trouble with its landing gear.
Lufthansa flight 427 had just lifted off from Philadelphia International Airport at 5:45 p.m. when the pilots discovered one of the Airbus A340's landing gear would not retract, an airline spokesperson tells NBC10.com.
The captain decided to return to Philadelphia rather than carrying on to Frankfurt, its final destination. But, the plane carrying 269 passengers and crew was too heavy to land, so it was forced to circle the area and dump fuel.
The wide-bodied jet spent roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes circling parts of Chester County, Pennsylvania, around 5,000 feet high, officials said.

Chester County emergency dispatchers received numerous calls from concerned residents about the plane.
Ronnie Hunter of Parkesburg saw the plane make a U-turn and head towards Philadelphia. Hunter said she observed the front landing gear looked to be down but the back two weren't.
Another witness recorded video of the jet releasing the fuel from its wings.
The plane touched back down at Philadelphia International around 9 p.m. without incident, the airline said. The Federal Aviation Administration, Lufthansa and the Philadelphia Fire Department say the flight did not make an emergency landing.
Passengers on board the flight told NBC10 that some people clapped and cheered when the jet touched down.
"I'll be honest, I started to cry a little because I was really nervous," said passenger Albert Weiter at baggage claim. "And I was praying."
The airline put passengers up in hotels for the night while the plane is being repaired. The flight is expected to resume at 6:30 p.m. on Monday.

Baseball great and "Mr. Padre" Tony Gwynn has died, according to Major League Baseball and NBC Sports.
The word came via Twitter with this post: "We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer and @Padres icon Tony Gwynn, who died today at the age of 54."
The Hall of Fame outfielder had battled cancer, undergoing a second surgery in February 2012 that removed a tumor inside his right cheek.
Surgeons grafted a nerve from his shoulder to replaces the nerve damaged by the tumor.
The former San Diego Padres, now San Diego State University's baseball coach spoke with NBC 7 after that surgery about the prognosis.
He had undergone a previous surgery in 2010 but it was the most recent surgery that noticeably changed his appearance and speech.
Gwynn's son, Tony Gwynn Jr., was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this year and has had success in center field and in the lineup.
Gwynn Jr. has learned to show his respect and love for his Hall of Fame father off the field and not just on.
On Father's Day before yesterday's game, Gwynn Jr. called his father on the west coast to wish him a Happy Father's Day.
“I always try to get in an I love you,” Gwynn Jr. told Comcast SportsNet's Jim Salisbury. “For a while that was uncomfortable for me, I don’t know why. But since 2010, it hasn’t been uncomfortable. It’s something I want to make sure I get in because you never know what’s going to happen.”
Gwynn led the National League in batting eight times in his 20-year career, all with the Padres. He led the team to their only two World Series appearances in 1984 and 1998.
He was named to 15 All-Star teams, winning seven Silver Slugger Awards as the best hitter at his position and five Gold Glove Awards as the best fielder at his position.
He was elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. His No. 19 was retired by the Padres in in 2004.
Gwynn played 2,440 games and compiled a .338 career batting average, good for 18th best in baseball history.
Chaos in the halls of Atlantic City High School last Friday resulted in the suspension of dozens of students.
A fight broke out at the end of the school’s last lunch period that afternoon with students throwing milk and water, Atlantic City School District officials tell NBC10. The fight grew, spilling into the hallways of the school located along the 1400 block of Albany Avenue.
"It was like a jungle," said Jailene Lopez, a student at the school. "Everyone was running. They were throwing milk and juice from the second floor."
Video posted to YouTube show students screaming, yelling and running through the halls. Students tweeting from the school also described the event as a mess.
Haven't seen this many riots in my life lmao Atlantic City High School man
— Nick Sacchetti (@NickAllenPower) June 13, 2014
Sherry Yahn, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, tells NBC10 the situation was under control. "I will say although it looks like chaos, it looks terrible, it is not as bad as it looks or it sounds," she said.
Yahn said the students who were recorded running through the halls were simply being herded into the gymnasium by security, which is proper protocol.
In all, 33 students were suspended, district officials said. Most were handed suspensions of 10 days, though the school year only has six days left. Officials also say however that the suspensions won't have an impact on anyone's graduation.
School administrators say steps are being taken to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
"We're trying the best that we can to keep them from putting any food, especially drinks, into the book bags," Yahn said.
Food fights and other disturbances have been a problem at the high school in past years, although this was the first this school year. Yahn said it's a "vast improvement" over past years. She attributes the improvement to additional staff and security on patrol in the cafeteria.
