Allstar JR was recently charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Overall, this is a very serious federal case that could bring forth a maximum sentence of 15 years.

As for NBA Ben10, there have been all sorts of rumors about his status. Some have claimed that he was paralyzed in the shooting. Meanwhile, just a couple of weeks ago, NBA Ben10 was shot for a second time in as many months.
