Former NFL and University of Colorado Boulder lineman Justin Bannan is facing attempted murder and assault charges after he reportedly shot a woman in Boulder on Wednesday.

Bannan, 40, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault extreme indifference, first-degree assault with intent to cause serious bodily injury, and first-degree burglary, according to Boulder police.

Boulder police said the shooting was reported at 2:24 p.m. Wednesday at Black Lab Sports at 3550 Frontier Ave.

According to police, Bannan shot a 36-year-old woman in the arm with a handgun. She was transported to Boulder Community Health’s Foothills Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Boulder police spokeswoman Laurie Ogden said the shooting appears to be “random,” as Bannan and the woman worked in the same building but do not appear to have any other connection and were only distantly acquainted.

According to an affidavit, the woman went to unlock her therapy room in the building when Bannan, who was already in the room, instantly shot her in the shoulder while she was standing in the doorway.

The woman said she knew Bannan, but only because he was the part-owner of the building and she would see him occasionally pass in the hallway. Bannan is listed as the co-founder of Black Lab Sports, but the woman worked for a company called Element 6 that operates inside the same building but is not a part of Black Lab Sports.

When police found Bannan at the scene, he was carrying a bag containing two loaded handguns, along with an extra magazine. They also found a rolled-up $20 bill coated with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine.

Bannan told police he “didn’t mean to shoot her,” and that he was just hiding in the room because the Russian Mafia was after him and tracking his cellphone. He said he only fired the gun once and that it was an “accident.”

There are no other victims or suspects.

Bannan’s booking photo has not yet been released.

Bannan made his first court appearance at the Boulder County Jail Thursday afternoon before Boulder County Judge Kristy Martinez. Bannan’s bond had been set at $500,000 in the arrest warrant, and Boulder County Deputy District Attorney Mark Grimaldi asked Martinez not to lower it because of the “random” nature of the shooting.

“It’s pretty clear why Mr. Bannan presents a risk to the community,” Grimaldi said.

Bannan’s attorney David Moorhead asked for a lower bond, citing Bannan’s lack of criminal history and his community ties.

“He’s not a flight risk,” Moorhead said.

Martinez chose not to reduce the bond amount, saying the alleged facts of the case raised “significant concerns about the safety of the community.”

As a condition of bond, Bannan will not be allowed to possess weapons or use drugs, and he will also not be allowed to leave the state without permission. A protection order prohibiting him from contacting the named victim and witnesses was also put in place.

Bannan is now scheduled for a formal filing of charges on Oct. 22.

Moorhead declined comment after the hearing.

Bannan, who is originally from California, played for the CU Buffs before being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2002. He spent 11 years in the NFL, including a two one-year stints with the Denver Broncos.

He also played for the Baltimore Ravens, St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions.
