Suge shot ‘right after talking to Chris Brown’
“It was organized chaos, Suge was shot right after talking to Chris Brown,” described a source to Page Six.
Knight, the co-founder of Death Row Records along withDr. Dre and the rapper The D.O.C., was among stars including Avril Lavigne, Mark Ballas, Derek Hough and others who had come out for the private party. Brown had earlier got on the mic and performed songs while standing at his table.
Sources close to the club tell us that around 1:35 a.m., shots rang out in the club. “People said it sounded like firecrackers,” we’re told.
Another source added, “The music was on, then they shut the music off, then the music came back on because everyone thought it was fireworks.
Another source said Knight was shot moments after talking to Chris Brown. One witness said, “Suge was talking to Brown who was on a podium. They seemed to be having a friendly conversation that lasted a few minutes. About 30 seconds later shots rang out and Suge was hit. The shooter definitely wasn’t aiming for Chris, because he was right there, stood above everyone, front and center.”
Knight was hit six times, five in the stomach and chest and once on the arm. Model Megan Hawkins, was grazed by a bullet that struck her in the butt. Instagram photos show her in the hospital along with the message, “According to the docs she is fine.”
Knight walked out of the club and calmly told police he’d been shot, and an ambulance was called. He was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery and is said to be in a stable condition.
Other patrons calmly filed out of the club after the shots rang out. We’re told the shooter was arrested at the club. His identity has not been revealed but police are focusing on a motive of gang rivalry because of Knight’s affiliation with the Bloods.
In 2005 Knight was shot in the leg at a party in Miami hosted by Kanye West before the VMAs. Knight was also in the car when Tupac Shakurwas shot in 1996.
Brown said he was upset about the latest incident on Twitter, posting on his feed early Sunday morning: “It’s disappointing that we as a society can’t have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes. Miss me with the bulls–t!!!”
But that didn’t stop him from hosting an after party in the Hollywood Hills, where, hours later,Justin Bieber was spotted walking around the party shirtless.
Reps for the club had no comment.
