Brandon Roy is a private guy. He's always been that way. Which probably explains some of why nobody seems to officially be able to confirm if the Brandon Roy shot over the weekend in Los Angeles was -- THE -- Brandon Roy or just someone else named Brandon Roy.

The Seattle Times' Stephanie Loh has been all over the reporting of this and joined me on the Bald Faced Truth radio show (12-3p on 102.9-FM and 750-AM) to download on the Roy case.

Loh said: "Brandon Roy was shot one time in the upper leg. He's doing fine."

This came after she reached a lieutenant in Los Angeles County, who said the Brandon Roy who was shot is 'probably' the Brandon Roy who is a former NBA player." They're unable to confirm, officially, though, until they interview Roy.

"Detectives have reached out to Brandon Roy to do a follow-up and they haven't heard back," Loh said.

On whether police will confirm Roy shielded children from the bullets:

"That's not a piece of information that they even have. That's a piece of information that came from a reporter in Los Angeles who interviewed people before police got there."

On how strange this case is:

"It would definitely help if Brandon Roy himself or someone close to Brandon Roy would reach out and say, 'Yes, he was shot.'"

Part of the confusion stems from reports from the players Roy now coaches -- high school players from Nathan Hale High. Several of those players indicated that the reports were false... that Roy was not shot.
