In the early hours of Sunday morning, notorious Hip-Hop exec and Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight shot in a West Hollywood nightclub at a pre-MTV VMAs party that Chris Brown was co-hosting. As details emerge, it has become clearly that the night in question was full of f-ckery and that Suge just might be bulletproof.
Here are some fascinating facts that have come to light after the incident.

1. It Went Down Like This
Reports the Daily Beast:
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the shooting occurred at approximately 1:37 a.m. inside the nightclub 1OAK at 9039 Sunset Boulevard. Among the victims were two men—Knight, 49, and an unnamed man, 32—and a 19-year-old woman, who was allowed entry to the club despite being underage. The suspect(s) have yet to be identified, and an investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, all three victims remain in stable condition at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.
2. Long Walk
After catching those slugs (reportedly six of them) including at least five to the gut, Suge Knight walked out of the club on his own power.
3. Helpful Cops, Not Really
Thanks to Ferguson and their general history of brutality, police aren’t on many peoples’ Christmas lists these year. However, LAPD was helpful to Knight, giving him a seat in their squad car. At least until they realized the bullet wounds meant taking him to the hospital would be the better look. Also, they had their guns drawn.
4. Chris Brown Wants No Parts Of This Struggle
Reportedly, Knight was talking to Chris Brown right before he was shot. After the incident, Brown took to social media to say he wanted no part of this struggle.
5. The Venue: 1OAK
1OAK is definitely a poppin’ nightspot. However, they may need to up their security since a gun made it inside. Just saying.
6. Me Too
Suge wasn’t the only person who got shot that night. In total three people were shot, including Megan Hawks who shared a pic from the hospital and mentioned she was hit by a 9MM, in the butt. Also, she’s 19, so she was underage for the club. Uh oh.
7. Gang Land
A shooting in Los Angeles? Of course, cops suspect it was gang related. We’re guessing they came up with that theory without even using, ya know, evidence.
8. Adam Silver Is On The Line…
Besides rappers, R&B singers and models, a couple of NBA players, Javale McGee and Glen Davis, were in the club. They may want to reconsider where they spend their free time.
9. Not On The List, Bruh
According to multiple reports, about an hour and a half before the shooting rapper the Game was denied entry into the club, which led to tension outside. Game is a Blood so the cops are surely following this suspect at best lead.
10. Rest Up
Revolt reports that according to his family Suge Knight is resting after having surgery.
“The family of Suge Knight ask that you keep Suge in your prayers and to stray away from the negativity portrayed by the media. Suge is currently resting and has lost a lot of blood, he’s human. He’s done a lot of things for the community and the culture as a whole so we ask that you respect that.”
Who Shot Ya?
The gunman is seen clearly in surveillance video, but no one has come forward to ID him, yet.
