More fishy information surrounding the story of USC football player Josh Shaw who says he seriously hurt both of his ankles in an alleged heroic rescue of his drowning nephew.
TMZ Sports spoke with the L.A. County Fire Dept. in Palmdale and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. in Palmdale — and both say they never got an emergency call about a drowning or a trauma incident involving Shaw or his nephew.
One law enforcement official told us .. “Let me put it to you this way: A drowning or a near drowning is a big deal. And our officials would know about it.”
USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the media moments ago and said the school would be investigating Shaw’s story — saying, “He came to us with what had occurred Saturday night. I have no reason, no history, to not believe Josh and his story with what has occurred.”
