Let’s all pray for the safety and well-being of Vikings pass-rusher Everson Griffen, as he continues to deal with mental health issues that appear to be putting his life in danger.
Earlier, Griffen posted (and deleted) a video on Instagram in which he flashes his gun and claims that people are trying to kill him in his home. Griffen shows the gun to the camera claiming it’s loaded while revealing that teammate Dalvin Cook helped him purchase it.
Text messages from Griffen also show that he fears for his life and thinks someone is trying to kill him. In the messages, he asks someone by the name of “Murph” to call 911 while pleading for help.
Based on reports from ESPN’s Kevin Seifert and local police in Minnesota, it appears as though the situation is ongoing, and it has escalated to the point where police are trying to reach Griffen, but he refuses to come out of his home.
Based on the report, police are currently on scene, along with psychologists, in an attempt to help the four-time Pro Bowler. It’s also being reported that Griffen called 911 and told them that someone was inside his home and he needed help from police. He also told dispatch that he fired his gun in the house, but no one was injured.
