I'm at the Redskins training facility to do a piece on how the team is coming to grips with the tragic death of safety Sean Taylor, who died early yesterday morning of a gunshot wound suffered during a break-in at his Miami area home early Sunday morning.
As you might expect, the mood is extremely somber as the team tries to get back to some semblance of normalcy. The players, coaches and staff met this morning with Taylor's father, Pedro, who flew in from the Miami area address the team.
We spoke briefly with one of the team's pastors, Brett Fuller, who was understandably emotional talking about how the team was coping with the unprecedented situation.
Stopped by a makeshift memorial to Taylor, where fans are free to stop by and pay their respects. Hundreds upon hundreds of flowers, candles, signs, surround the tree. A Taylor jersey, autographed by dozens of well-wishers, hangs from one of the branches.
Sad. Very sad.

Are there any concerns being expressed that Seans father is the chief of police who is investigating the matter?
It seems like this story is far from over.
I wish I had been wrong yesterday... but Antrel Rolle's comments are indicative that this issue is far from over.
Bob,
Any further information on when the investigators are calling this a random event in light of Rolles comments, but even more so in light of the break in at Taylors house a few eeks back where a knife was reportedly left on Taylors bed as a warning?
I don't mean to sound like Oliver Stone here, but something seems odd about the entire investigation.
By no means do I mean to take focus away from the terrible loss incurred by Taylors family, Taylors long time companion, or his young daughter, rather, I hope to see justice served to arrest his killer and hold them accountable for his death.
