Well, not exactly.... He had left before the incident because he earned himself a 4 game suspension for PED's, which was his fault...
And please, using the word "shot" is a pretty poor pun, even if meant unintentionally....
A) I don't recall Bailey ever being suspended for PED's!
B) Using the term " give him a shot" is a commonly used term, and your being over-analytical in presuming I did or didn't mean to use it as a pun!

He was suspended twice actually
The PED suspension was in 2014, 4 games reduced to 2. He was on suspension for substance abuse in 2015 when he was shot.

And he certainly blamed himself
"a few reflections on my 25th. another year is another opportunity to become a better person. to everybody I let down, I'm so sorry & I will do everything I can to gain yalls trust back. thanks for listening, I love y'all" #SteddyB #RamsFam #YearOfTheRam

As for the "take a shot" comments, no I don't think you meant it as a pun but I think its in poor taste to use the term
