He claims that someone is coming to \u201cget\u201d him, mentions teammate Dalvin Cook, and insists that the .45 cal., semi-automatic handgun he displays is perfectly legal and that he has all the paperwork for the firearm. Then the video abruptly stops.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everson Griffen Scary Instagram Post\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VlD0APyWi8A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>According to the <i>Star Tribune<\/i>, the player <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/vikings-addressing-incident-at-home-of-defensive-end-everson-griffen\/600120347\/?refresh=true\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> the Minnesota police to his home after posting his video on social media.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The paper added that Griffen admitted having fired a single round but told them no one was injured.<\/p>\n<p>Before he called the police, Griffen had also been in touch with teammates and told one that \u201cpeople are trying to kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings <a href=\"https:\/\/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com\/2021\/11\/24\/vikings-our-only-concern-at-this-time-is-the-safety-and-well-being-of-everson-griffen-and-his-family\/\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issued<\/a> a statement on Wednesday, saying, \u201cVikings representatives and the team\u2019s mental health professionals have been on-site at Everson Griffen\u2019s home since early this morning and are cooperating with law enforcement,\u201d Minnesota\u2019s statement reads. \u201cOur only concern at this time is the safety and well-being of Everson and his family.
