According to reports from TMZ Sports, the Los Angeles area home of former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver and currently injured Washington Redskin, DeSean Jackson, was "stormed" by a group of 4 or 5 individuals with guns.
That's when an altercation with those inside the house allegedly ensued.
We're told the Washington Redskins star was NOT home at the time -- but there were roughly 6 people inside who FOUGHT the intruders.
Law enforcement sources tell us at least one person in the home was pistol-whipped and suffered minor injuries.
Eventually, the people inside the home fought off the intruders who fled from the scene.
That all seems crazy enough, but the details keep getting wilder. According to the same report, investigators believe the gun-toting intruders had actually been in the home before and knew where security cameras were located. And that it could all potentially be gang related.

People surely don't forget the rumblings about Jackson's ties to gangs that arose shortly before his tenure with the Eagles was ended prematurely by Chip Kelly and the organization.
And this wasn't the first time that a home owned by Jackson was burglarized. Back in 2013, Jackson had a reported $300,000 in cash and jewelry stolen from his home in South Philadelphia.
DeSean had been able to keep his name out of the news for negative reasons -- aside from repeatedly getting injured -- for most of his tenure in Washington, but regardless of the facts around this latest incident, it certainly doesn't bode well for his future in the NFL. There are already rumblings that the Redskins could part ways with him and his lucrative contract after this season.
