According to TMZ, the documents describe a domestic disturbance that took place in the early morning hours of April 13. The report suggests Earl Thomas left his house after an argument with his wife, Nina Thomas, who told police that she later tracked him down and found him naked in bed with another woman.
At that point, things escalated.
From TMZ:
"That's when Nina admits she pulled out the gun and put it to Earl's head — stating 'that she took out the magazine thinking that the gun could not fire.' But, cops say Nina was 'unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber.'"

Before the story broke on Wednesday night, Thomas posted a video to Instagram hinting at what was coming, asking fans and followers to pray for him and his family in the difficult times to come.

Stuff like this happens bro. We try to live the best lives we possibly can. Sometimes it don't go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff. We've been talking. I've been seeing my kids. So just keep us in your prayers."
