(Gossip-Grind News) Rapper Freddie Gibbs Shot At In Brooklyn:
Gary, Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs was allegedly the target of a shooting in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood last night. Although Gibbs wasn’t shot, two people believed to be members of the rapper’s entourage were hit. One victim was shot in the leg, and the other in the hand. Both victims were transported to Bellevue Hospital and listed in stable condition, and expected to survive their wounds.
Hip-hop musician Freddie Gibbs, who had just performed at a record store called Rough Trade, claimed he was the intended target when shots were fired at 1:13 a.m. while he was sitting in a black GMC Denali at North 9th Street near Wythe Avenue.
Gibbs’ crew had barely rolled one block away when the gunman — dressed in a dark hoodie — ran up to their ride and fired several shots inside, the rapper said.
“They tried to kill Tupac. They tried to kill me,” Gibbs told The Post outside the club. “I’m still alive.”
Asked why he would be targeted, Gibbs said: “I’m Freddie Gibbs. They tried to kill me, but I’m still alive.”
Gibbs said he jumped out and ran to safety back at Rough Trade. He spotted the gunman fleeing east on 9th Street.
The gunman was seen on security video inside Rough Trade, trying to blend into Gibbs’ entourage while his crew was hanging out inside the club’s Guardian Green Room, police said. (NY Post)
No arrest have been made yet. Gibbs posted a photo via Instagram after the shooting with the caption, “Yep. Still Livin. Thanks NYC.”
