Benzino shooting details
More details have been released on the shooting of rapper Benzino at his mother’s funeral. As previously reported, the “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star was shot in the shoulder by his nephew. He also suffered a graze wound in the back.
According to Benzene, the shooter, who he refuses to say was his nephew, fired seven or eight shots at him.
“I looked over, there was a car, and all I saw was a gun shooting at me,” Benzino told TheBostonGlobe.
“I was trying to duck and dodge, drive around it, maneuver the car … I was bleeding a lot. I was driving with my thumb in my shoulder to try to stop the bleeding.”
Police now say that the shooter, 36-year-old Gai Scott, will be charged today with assault with intent to murder.
While more details are being released on his shooting, Benzino is sharing more photos from the hospital.
The HipHopWeekly head posted the below photo of himself surrounding by his family that rushed him to the hospital after the shooting.
“If it wasn’t for these beautiful women driving me to the hospital I wouldn’t have made it, thank you auntie GENEVA , Jannina, Rita!!! I LOVE YALL!” he captioned the photo below.
