PHILADELPHIA - Indianapolis star receiver Marvin Harrison was interviewed by police about a shooting near his car wash this week.

Lieutenant Frank Vanore said the investigation of Tuesday's shooting was continuing. Harrison has not been arrested or charged.

"He was interviewed," Vanore said yesterday. "Why he was interviewed, that is all part of the investigation. No one is a suspect."

Vanore told WCAU-TV the shooting occurred near 25th and Thompson streets, near a car wash owned by Harrison and about a half-mile from a bar also owned by Harrison.

Vanore also said a child was hit in the eyes by broken glass, but was released from a hospital.

Harrison's agent, Tom Condon, denied the player was involved in the shooting.

"I've spoken with Marvin and I've spoken with his attorney, and they say the reports are erroneous," Condon told ESPN. "Marvin was not involved in any shooting, and he is not the subject of this investigation."

Colts coach Tony Dungy said he knew little more than had been reported.

"My phone has been ringing, too, but I don't have any details," Dungy said.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league is aware of the report and is looking into it.
