Former NBA player Shannon Brown was arrested last week following an incident involving a gun and two people who were house hunting.
Law enforcement officials in Tyrone, Ga., confirmed to TMZ that two people say they were out searching for homes when they saw a “For Sale” sign in front of Brown’s residence. They claim they entered the property through an open gate and were told to come inside when they got to the door, which is when things went sideways.
The two victims say they were confronted by Brown when they got inside the home, and the 34-year-old allegedly pulled a gun on them. Brown let the two individuals leave but they say he fired five or six shots as they were on their way out. Police found a shell casing in the area when they investigated and arrested Brown for aggravated assault.
Brown won back-to-back championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010. He last played in the NBA in 2014 and spent time in the NBA G League more recently. One of the last times he was in the news was when his wife accused him of cheating, so the headlines have not been good for Brown since his NBA career came to an end.
