Ashley Cole shoots fan with air rifle.

    Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has allegedly shot and wounded an intern at the club after "larking" around with an air rifle, according to the News of the World.

    A source told the News of the World: "It's truly inconceivable that a Premier League footballer could bring a gun to the training ground.

    "But Ashley pulled the rifle from a box and started larking about with it in the changing room, not realising it was loaded. It ended up pointed at Tom just five feet away.

    "The gun went off with a loud pop and Tom screamed as this lead pellet hit him in the side. It went through his clothing and into his flesh."

    The News of the World said he wounded the intern who was given medical treatment on the spot, but two days later the wound was still weeping and had to be treated again.

    The .22 air rifle is the most powerful gun that can be owned in the UK without a licence and if misused, it can kill.


    Police were not called and the source went on to say that Chelsea officials were concerned that "it would be a PR disaster if this became public knowledge, so the club has closed ranks over it".

    ''We never comment on internal matters,'' Chelsea said in response to the report.

    This is being widely reported in the media now. Cole could be in trouble over this.
