Florida State linebacker Ethan Pritchard is in critical condition after he was shot Sunday night while visiting family in Havana, the program said in a statement on X.

“Ethan Pritchard is in critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit at a local hospital after suffering a gunshot wound last night while visiting family in Havana, Florida,” the Seminoles’ statement read.

“The Pritchard family is thankful for the support from so many people, as well as the care from first responders and medical professionals, and asks that their privacy be respected at this time. Further updates will be provided as they are available.”

The 6-foot-2 freshman from Sanford was shot while inside a vehicle outside apartments in Havana, according to the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office.

During a press conference on Monday, Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell began by addressing the situation and said he was with Pritchard in the hospital.

“Just want to first start off, just thoughts and prayers with Ethan Pritchard and his family,” Norvell said. “This is obviously an extremely just tragic event for the young man. I got a chance to be there last night with him and his dad and his family, and grateful for all the support and medical support he was able to receive.

“Our football team, coaches, family, we’re all here to support them. I absolutely believe in it and Maria and I praying for all parts of him and the journey that’s ahead but definitely appreciate the support from everybody in the community that we feel and just continue to be with him.”

An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

Pritchard did not play in FSU’s season opener on Saturday, a 31-17 victory over No. 8 Alabama in Tallahassee.

He committed to Florida State in October 2023.
