Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Everson Griffen shared a scary video and a series of disturbing messages early Wednesday morning about possibly being in danger. The team has since provided an update about the troubling situation.

The 33-year-old also shared a video saying that someone was trying to kill him in his home. In the video, Griffen is holding a gun and explains that the gun is his, it’s registered to him, and that teammate Dalvin Cook helped him purchase the weapon.

The Vikings issued a statement on Wednesday morning about the situation:

“Vikings representatives and the team’s mental health professionals have been on-site at Everson Griffen’s home since early this morning and are cooperating with law enforcement.”

“Our only concern at this time is the safety and well-being of Everson and his family. We will have further comment at the appropriate time.”

In 2018, Griffen allegedly threatened to shoot hotel staff members. He agreed to be taken for mental health treatment shortly after the incident, but reports suggested he fled the ambulance.
