Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett’s 2-year-old daughter reportedly drowned over the weekend in the family’s swimming pool at their home.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that police responded to the home on Sunday morning after receiving a call about a child who had fallen into a pool.

First responders deployed lifesaving measures on Arrayah Barrett, who was rushed to the hospital but was later pronounced deceased, the report said.

The report said that no foul play is suspected and that officials said that the incident is being viewed as an accident.

“Today’s tragic news is heartbreaking for all members of the Buccaneers family,” the team said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Shaq, Jordanna and the entire Barrett family during this unimaginably difficult time. While no words can provide true comfort at a time such as this, we offer our support and love as they begin to process this very profound loss of their beloved Arrayah.”

The report noted that Barrett and his wife Jordana share three other children together: Shaquil Jr., Braylon, Aaliyah.

ESPN noted that the 30-year-old linebacker is in his fifth season with team and has been named to the Pro Bowl twice. He led the NFL in sacks in 2019 with 19.5.

Former NFL running back Peyton Hillis, who was on the cover of the 2012 Madden NFL video game, released a statement back in February after being hospitalized following a swimming accident, saying that he was thankful for everyone’s love and support as he recovers.

Hillis, 36, was rushed to the hospital in early January in critical condition after he reportedly saved his children from drowning in the ocean. ESPN said that the incident involved two adults and two children.

“I just wanted to come on here and thank everyone for all the prayers and love y’all have given me,” Hillis wrote on social media. “It’s really made all the difference. I also want to thank my brave sister, mother, sister in law, my kids, and my girlfriend who has saved my life in more ways than one. Thank you to the amazing staff at the hospital. Baptist hospital in Pensacola. Y’all were truly amazing and took such great care of me. You made all the difference on my recovery.”

Hillis said that he has not given any media interviews because he wanted to keep his family out of the public since the incident was a “very traumatic” experience for everyone involved.

“But I did want to come on here and show my appreciation for everyone who helped save my life and for all of your prayers and love and support,” he added. “I left the hospital with no worries and concerns and should make a 100% recovery. I’m a very lucky and blessed man. Yahweh has really blessed me and I am very thankful.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) is begging Texas Governor Greg Abbott to not send any more illegal aliens to the Windy City — despite the fact that just two years ago she signed measures “strengthening” Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city.

On Sunday, the outgoing mayor sent Abbott a letter, imploring him to make Texas carry the burden of the thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens flooding the border. According to the mayor, the Texas governor is going to begin re-sending illegal immigrants via bus starting Monday to Chicago.

“Since we began responding to the arrival of migrants sent by your delegation in August 2022, we have shouldered the responsibility of caring for more than 8,000 men, women, and children with no resources of their own,” she said in the letter. “That number continues to grow.”

In reality, Lightfoot shouldn’t be surprised Texas sent them her way. She practically asked for these individuals to come to Chicago on multiple occasions. For example, in 2019, she tweeted, “Yes, Chicago must be a sanctuary city.

Yes, Chicago must be a sanctuary city.

We’ve got to stand up to the Trump administration’s racist, anti-immigrant terror and make sure every Chicagoan is safe, regardless of citizenship status. And we've got to strengthen the Welcoming City Ordinance by eliminating carve-outs. https://t.co/1LNUtW8cNk

Now, she says there is no more room in her city.

“Chicago is a Welcoming City and we collaborate with County, State, and community partners to rise to this challenge, but your lack of consideration or coordination in an attempt to cause chaos and score political points has resulted in a critical tipping point in our ability to receive individuals and families in a safe, orderly, and dignified way,” she said in the letter. “We simply have no more shelters, spaces, or resources to accommodate an increase of individuals at this level, with little coordination or care, that does not pose a risk to them or others.”

Today, @chicagosmayor sent a letter to Governor Greg Abbott urging his administration to stop the inhumane and dangerous action of bussing migrants to Chicago.

The letter came just hours after Texas authorities started a manhunt for a suspected illegal alien who allegedly killed five individuals —including an eight-year-old child — in a spray of gunfire Friday night. Texas, like other border states, has been dealing with the crisis of illegal immigration for years, and that mass shooting is just the latest ramification.

What is Lightfoot’s solution to this mess? Well, she thinks that it can be solved through more federal funding and “policy changes.” Like her Democratic colleagues in New York City dealing with the same problem, one can only assume that means amnesty.

Of course, this chaos will never end until the border is sealed and thousands of illegal aliens are deported. Don’t count on Lightfoot to send President Joe Biden a letter demanding those sorts of policies though. It seems she’d rather accuse GOP colleagues of being callous and cruel, even though for years she told illegal immigrants from around the globe that they could find sanctuary under her watch.
