New England Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather allegedly shot two men, one of them in the head, during a fight on Feb. 27 outside a house party in Apopka, Fla., according to John Morgan, attorney for the victims.

The trouble started at the Blue Jeans Lounge in Apokpa when a friend of Meriweather’s allegedly beat up a woman, according to Morgan. The woman’s brother arrived later with his own friend, and the conflagration shifted to a nearby party, where the brother soon got the better of Meriweather’s friend in a fight. That’s when Meriweather allegedly pulled out his gun and fired at the brother, grazing the man’s face and hitting the other victim in the head, according to Morgan.

Former Hurricane and current sports talk radio host Dan Sileo appears to be the first to mention the shooting. Until we hear back from the cops, however, these are all just allegations.

Highly coveted free agent Troy Murphy is signing with the Boston Celtics.

Murphy told ESPN.com via e-mail that he will join the Celtics after spending much of the past 48 hours agonizing between Boston and the Miami Heat. Murphy reached terms of a buyout with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

At 6’10 Murphy brings alot of size to the C’s and fits in nicely to the spot vacated by the Perkins trade. His perimeter game also will contribute to spreading the floor.

The Washington Wizards and newly-acquired point guard Mike Bibby reached a buyout agreement Monday, said a person with knowledge of the deal who requested anonymity because the buyout had not become official.

The idea of a buyout for Bibby materialized almost immediately after the trade. Bibby was not thrilled going from a playoff team to a lottery team.
