KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Knoxville police have questioned Tennessee defensive back Brent Vinson as a witness in a shooting.

Charles Corn was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center after being shot at a Knoxville townhouse complex late Tuesday night. He was listed in critical condition Wednesday afternoon.

Police interviewed Vinson as a witness because he was present when the shooting happened. Vinson is not considered a suspect.

Vinson, a junior from Hampton, Va., had 13 tackles last season and an interception against Vanderbilt that he returned 69 yards.
