NBA hopeful Eric Griffin charged with attempted murder

Professional basketball player Eric Griffin was arrested Friday and charged with attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, according to court records in Orange County, Fla.

According to reports, Griffin, and Daquan Lundy, were arrested for their alleged involvement in a possible revenge shooting. On April 16, a friend of Griffin's was killed in a drive-by shooting. The belief is that 13 days later, Griffin and Lundy waited for Treavor Glover and fired multiple shots at him because they believed he was tied to the killings.
