Ashley ColeSurrey police will question staff from Chelsea football club over reports that Ashley Cole accidentally shot an intern at the club's training ground.
A spokesman for Surrey police said they would be "contacting the club in due course to establish whether any criminal offence has been committed".
The England left-back, who was previously married to pop star Cheryl Cole, fired a .22 air rifle at 21 year old Tom Cowan, thinking it was not loaded.
The sports sciences student then began to bleed profusely from a side wound which was treated by Chelsea medical staff.
A club statement read, "We have fully investigated the incident and we are taking appropriate action. We will not be commenting further as it is an internal matter".
Cowan was reportedly just a metre and a half away from Cole at the time of the incident.
The type of air gun involved in the incident doesn't require a licence in Britain and Surrey Police didn't attend the scene.
Bryan Carrasco
The childhood torture "Stop hitting yourself" took on a new meaning when Chilean Under 20 football star Bryan Carrasco was caught on camera trying to perpetrate a heinous crime against fair play.
With Chile trailing Ecuador 1-0 in the last quarter of an hour, Carrasco grabbed the arm of Edson Motano, then hit himself in the face with it before diving to the ground to try to get his opponent sent off.
Luckily for Motano, and for fans of sporting justice in general, the referee spotted Carrasco's attempted subterfuge, and gave the free kick against the men in red.
As karma would have it, Chile went on to lose the match and also any chance of qualifying for the 2012 Olympics in London.
