Freddie Gibbs and members of his entourage were shot at multiple times while in their black GMC Denali SUV today (November 4) after performing at Rough Trade in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, according to the New York Post.
“They tried to kill Tupac,” Freddie Gibbs said. “They tried to kill me. I’m still alive.”
Freddie Gibbs took to his Instagram today to provide an update on his status. “Yep. Still Living. Thanks NYC,” he wrote.
“Everybody’s OK,” a source familiar with the incident says after speaking with Gibbs’ road manager in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. “[Gibbs’ friend] got hit in the knee, but he’s recovering.”
Gibbs was the target of the shooting, the source says. “They chased him shooting,” the source says. “They just didn’t hit him.”
The source says the other person who was shot was a bystander.
Reports cite that there was one gunman in the incident, which took place on the corner of North 9th Street and Whythe Street.
Gibbs avoided injury by jumping out of the vehicle and running into Rough Trade.
Gibbs’ DJ, DJ Izzo, was shot. Several people sent him well wishes via Twitter.
The gunman was spotted fleeing east on North 9th Street. Gibbs’ DJ and another member of his crew sustained minor injuries from the shooting and were taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan to be treated for their injuries, and are listed as being in stable condition.
There is a surveillance video showing that the gunman had apparently disguised himself with a black hoodie to blend in with the Gary, Indiana native’s entourage for most of the night, including their time in the Guardian Green room of Rough Trade, according to police.
There was another man who was an allegedly hanging with the gunman during the night. An investigator reportedly told Gibbs that the surveillance video shows the shooter was standing right next to him at one point. Gibbs notified investigators that he had neither knowledge of who the gunman nor who his cohort was, despite them acting as if they belonged as members of his crew.
Police also stated that Rough Trade’s security measures were low, citing no metal detectors nor checking customers for weapons upon entry prior to the incident.
As the case is currently under investigation, the gunman has not been identified, nor arrests have been made yet.

West Side, Lew Wallace, Wirt, Roosevelt, Emerson, there needs to be a total reboot of Gary Indiana high schools. Too many of the youth are not being educated to prosper. Mr. Gibbs is an example of this.
NY always be missing they targets, New york take this L
west side is the best side!!
cuz there weren’t any innocents shot by gangbangers in la this year right? lmao I can think of 10
theres shitty shooters all thru America and on both coasts
Jimmy ain’t playing out there in these streets
#VampLife
FUKING GAY!
I was at the show last night. shit was wack. We hung outside after the show. ain’t shit pop off. shit gunshots woulda brought excitement to the night. niggas jus tryina hype shit up for the lame turnout it was. lyin ass niggas man i tell you
how was the show wack? you dont like his music then why did u go to the show? explain that
Who’s all these niggas that gucci killed? “Real” killers move in silence (They don’t want no credit) .And smart gangsters “Don’t” get caught. Dumb niggas respecting gucci cos he got “caught” lol yeh he bodied a dude cos they tried to rob him. And he probably feared 4 his life. No guns allowed in jail nigga.That’s where u find out if a niggas a “real” G…in jail.And if gucci caught so much bodies,that means nobody on the streets respected him as a gangster.Real gamgsters don’t keep on getting disrespected so they rarely have to pop off.Cos niggas know better. Plenty pussys in the hood that caught bodies.The real gangsters are the bank robbers. That’s something that not anybody can do.Any fukboi and bitch made nigga can aim and squeeze out of fear!!
Gucci needs to stay in the streets.Cos that’s one of the wackest rappers to ever touch the mic for real.i’d put soulja boy and bow wow’s skills on the mic above that ice cream tatooed on face clown lol. At least Gibbs brings something dope to hip hop.
Gucci = Accident murderer
@BIG GUCCI THE RULER. Where in the article was Gibbs crying about anything?Quote it.Do it NOW!!!…Fuckboi…Dick snot!!
