Aretha Franklin's Son Brutally Beaten In Detroit

Aretha Franklin's son, Eddie Franklin was brutally beaten at a gas station in Detroit last night. Eddie Franklin was attacked Monday night and is undergoing surgery at a hospital. Three people may have been involved in the attack, but no motive has been released yet. Detroit police spokeswoman Eren Stephens said a female acquaintance was with Franklin just before the beating took place. The woman walked into the gas station, and when she returned, the assault had taken place. Police said the woman then drove Franklin to the hospital, dropped him off and headed to a police station to file a report. Stephens said investigators want to talk to Franklin about the circumstances of the attack once he's able to speak to them.
