According to Tom Schad of USA Today, Bannan shot an acupuncturist named Ashley Marie as she walked into a treatment room Bannan was located in. The woman suffered a fractured humerus but survived.

Bannan had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, saying that head injuries suffered through years of playing football had damaged his brain.
