Shots fired – literally! Right after performing in record store Rough Trade, Freddie Gibbs and his crew hopped in a black GMC Denali at North 9th Street near Wythe Avenue in Brooklyn, when a gunman chased the truck down about a block, and loosely let off his gun.

“They tried to kill Tupac. They tried to kill me,” Gibbs told the NY Post. When asked why he would be the target of a shooting, the Indiana rapper simply answered, “I’m Freddie Gibbs.”
The gunman was spotted on camera trying to fit in with Gibbs’ crew on the inside of the Rough Trade.
“He [the shooter] was standing around you guys all night,” an investigator told Gibbs. “He was stalking you guys. We can tell on camera, he wanted it to look like he knew you, but it’s clear he didn’t. When you guys left, he was waiting for you outside. At one point, he [the shooter] was standing right next to you,” the investigator said. “The opportunity was there if he wanted to shoot.”
Damn, talk about a close call.
Two people were wounded – one in the leg and the other in the hand – however, they are both in stable condition.
So soon after Gibbs revealed his true feelings about Jim Jones – hmm.
