The story was probably leaked as such because a fellow NBA player getting shot at Deshawn Stevenson's party makes for an attention grabbing headline. Either that or somebody got the story muddled up before more details became known.

According to an Orange County sheriff's report, Stevenson and friends met several women at a nightclub and invited them back to the NBA player's home in an Orlando suburb. Witnesses told deputies they were followed into the gated community by a Cadillac Escalade.
The driver of the Escalade argued with one of the women then reportedly opened fire with a handgun. Bullets shattered windows in Stevenson's Lexus SUV, and more shots hit a BMW and Stevenson's house.
Stevenson's companions told deputies they ran into the home and didn't return fire. The women from the nightclub fled the scene. Investigators found blood on one of the cars and bullet casings in Stevenson's driveway.
About a half-hour later, Curtis Ruff, 31, drove up to a local hospital in an Escalade seeking treatment for gunshot wounds to his legs, sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said. Ruff declined to cooperate, but Solomons said deputies believe he was shot at Stevenson's home.
