Female boxer shot by her stepfather

BERLIN – An undefeated female boxer from Germany was shot in her dressing room by her stepfather before a title fight, leaving her with injuries to her hand, knee and feet.
Rola El-Halabi was struck at close range by a man who was once her manager. The injuries to the 25-year-old boxer are not life-threatening but could imperil her career.
El-Halabi was awaiting a bout with Irma Balijagic Adler of Bosnia for the vacant IBF lightweight title Friday night when her 44-year-old stepfather entered her dressing room and shot her.
He also shot two security guards before he was arrested, Berlin police said. The three victims were taken to a hospital for surgery.
Sunday's edition of the Bild newspaper identified the gunman as Roy El-Halabi and reported that 800 spectators were evacuated from the arena.

     This is just a perfect example of what not to do. I mean ya, no one likes getting fired, but to show up to your stepdaughter’s professional boxing match and shoot her in the hand. Really? Not the way to go about things buddy. Maybe try to reason with her and work to get your job back, but by shooting her in the hand now no one wins. She might not be able to fight anymore and you are definitely not getting hired as a manager anytime soon. Talk about a plan backfiring. On top of that shooting two security guards is not the way to prove a point (I want my job back). I feel bad for the 800 fans that had to be evacuated from the arena. Imagine being pumped up to watch some females box the crap out of each other then as your getting your buzz on about to watch the fight you have to leave because of some crazy guy with a gun. I would be pissed. This girl needs some better coaching and management. Bad management at its finest. Talk about problems and principles of coaching eh? Get well soon Rola El-Halabi.
