Griffen told dispatch that he fired a weapon, but no one was injured. When police arrived at the scene, they were unable to find an intruder.
Police said in the statement that “law and enforcement and psychologists” were on the scene since 7 a.m. but Griffen “refused” to come out. They noted that he was alone inside his residence.
Griffen posted alarming screenshots of messages to his agent on his Instagram early Wednesday morning. In the since-deleted messages, the NFL player told his agent to call 911, saying “People are trying to kill me.”
