England soccer star Ashley Cole reportedly shot a 24-year-old intern by accident, at Chelsea's training base.
English paper, News of the World reported Cole was "larking about" with a .22 calibre air rifle at the club's Cobham training ground when he unintentionally shot work experience student Tim Cowan in the side with a pellet from just a metre and a half away.
Cowan was reportedly seen to by medical staff at the ground, but two days later the wound was still weeping and he had to be treated again.
