Note to the shooter: Aim a little higher next time..... ;)

 

 

Or at least have the decency to shoot him in the nuts.

 

 

EDIT: It gets better!

 

 

Who shot Suge?

 

Everybody clams up as he recovers

Cops probe 2 theories: New rap war or self-inflicted wound

Medics cart Knight to ambulance.

 

Was hip-hop mogul Marion (Suge) Knight wounded in the opening salvo of a new rap war? Or did the godfather of gangsta rap accidentally shoot himself in the leg with his own gun?

Cops were investigating those dueling theories as witnesses and Knight's pals clammed up about yesterday's early-morning shooting inside a star-studded party in Miami Beach before the MTV Video Music Awards, sources told the Daily News.

 

Police were puzzled by the failure to find a shell casing inside SkyBar's VIP Red Room at the plush Shore Club - and that no one got a good look at the shooter. Knight gave only a cursory account of the shooting, raising more doubts about the event. He was in stable condition last night after doctors removed the bullet and set a fractured bone in his right leg.

 

"He didn't see anything, he got shot from behind," said Bobby Hernandez, a police spokesman. "He fell to the ground."

 

Hernandez said "an accidental discharge" was one scenario under investigation. No gun was found on Knight, but bodyguards easily could have taken one off him in the mayhem that erupted after the shooting, a source theorized. If Knight is caught carrying a gun, he could be sent back to prison because he is on parole.

 

A-list celebs and glitterati ran for their lives when the gunfire erupted at the party hosted by Grammy-winner Kanye West, who graced the cover of Time magazine just one week ago.

 

"Everybody just scattered," said Shirley Halperin, 23, an editor with US Weekly.

 

Like others, Halperin never saw the shooter, who some witnesses described as a black man wearing a pink or red shirt. The crowds of celebrities soon regrouped by the palm trees at poolside and the Video Music Awards went off as planned last night. (See Pages 37-39 for coverage.)

 

"This isn't about Miami," said Miami Mayor Manny Diaz. "It is just an unfortunate thing that happened and we'll get through it."

 

If someone did shoot Knight, suspicion likely would fall on his myriad enemies in the lucrative rap world, especially rapper 50 Cent's G-Unit group.

 

Knight, 40, the impresario credited with popularizing gangsta rap in the early '90s, also is blamed for bouts of deadly violence that have plagued the hip-hop business.

 

The ex-college football player from South Central Los Angeles also has feuded openly with New York rappers, especially the late Notorious B.I.G. and Sean (Diddy) Combs, who was the host of last night's awards show.

 

Groups loyal to rival rappers have squared off violently over the years, particularly at awards shows and other highprofile events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So...he accidentally shot himself? I like that version even better.
