Was There A Shooting Or Not


There was. This past weekend Jermaine Dupri took over Atlanta for his annual So So Def Weekend. The weekend long party hop is a non stop celebration including a celebrity basketball game, a star studded bowling tournament and of course, a bunch of club parties. Anyway, this year, like last year, there was a shooting at one of the clubs, or was there? While various news outlets and pictures from Atlpics.net seemed to support the shooting allegations, at first JD's people released a statement claiming the loud pop heard in the club, that sent celebs like P Diddy, Nia Long, Sanna Lathan, LisaRaye and Da Brat scrambling, was nothing more than a speaker popping or maybe a champagne cork. That explanation, however, did not explain how a bouncer got grazed on the arm by a bullet. JD and 'nem finally had to admit were was indeed a shooting, but that it was an isolated incident. JD told the press, "I'm sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. But I'm happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues."
