"Aretha Franklin&amp;#039;s son has reportedly been injured after being assaulted at a gas station in Detroit. Eddie Franklin was severely beaten during an alleged scuffle on Monday and is currently undergoing surgery in a local hospital, according to The AP. Family spokesperson Gwendolyn Quinn suggested that three people were involved in attacking Eddie, but did not speculate on a possible motive.  Detroit police representative Eren Stephens said that a female companion of Eddie had entered the gas station yesterday evening, but by the time she emerged the assault had already taken place.  The woman then drove Eddie to the hospital and filed a police report.  Stephens added that the investigators plan to talk with Eddie about the altercation as soon as he is able to speak with them.
