BREAKING: Police Investigating Ja Morant's Gun Video Situation

ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Liz Merrill confirmed on Monday afternoon that Colorado police are investigating Ja Morant's actions that involved him flashing a gun during an Instagram live video.

"The Glendale Police Department confirmed the incident took place at a bar in Glendale, a small enclave surrounded by Denver and known for its strip clubs and shopping centers," Shelburne and Merrill wrote. "The department said it is investigating whether Morant may have broken any gun laws. Colorado is an open-carry state, although there are exceptions to the law, including the carrying of a firearm on federal property. It is illegal in Colorado to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol."

While the police are doing an investigation, the NBA is doing their own investigation, as they specifically look to determine if Morant broke any league rules with his actions in Colorado.

"NBA rules prohibit a player from possessing a firearm while in team property or traveling on team business," Shelburne and Merrill wrote. "In the video live-streamed by Morant, it is not clear whether he is intoxicated, but others are shown drinking in the video."

Morant is currently away from the Grizzlies for an unspecified time period, but it is clear that the situation has extended beyond the Grizzlies organization. Discipline from the NBA as well as legal discipline still cannot be ruled out yet.
