NFL Player Labeled As 'Person Of Interest' In Shooting

Another NFL player may be in trouble with the law.

The Dallas Observer reported on Monday that Aqib Talib, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback, has been labeled as a "person of interest" in a March 21 shooting by the Garland Police Department.

The incident reportedly involved Talib's sister, mother, his sister's boyfriend and at least five gunshots were fired.

According to a GPD initial report about the incident and two sources familiar with the case Talib allegedly attempted to pistol-whip his sister Saran's boyfriend, Shannon Billings, and then, after a struggle, used his mother Okolo's pistol and fired several shots at Billings as he fled the scene on foot.

According to the report, the 25-year-old could be "arrested and charged with anything from discharging a firearm within a municipality to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."

The Buccaneers selected Talib with the 20th overall pick in the 2008 draft.
