UPDATE:
TMZ report that Hip-Hop figure Suge Knight was not only at the club too, but may have been shot:
Tyson Beckford, Robert Richard and Apple de Ap all tell TMZ … there were inside the pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown when they heard 4 shots ring out inside the club.
Suge walked out on his own power … a cop spotted him and walked the rap mogul to the police car where Suge sat. Suge was then put in an ambulance and taken to a local hospital.
We do not know the nature of Suge’s injuries. One source who was present says Suge was one of 3 people were were shot.
One source says one person is in critical condition and others less severe.
The night started with tension. An hour-and-a-half before the shots, Game came to the club and he and his buddies got into an altercation with security guards … there was a full-on fight. Game tried to get in was denied and left, but his buddies stayed behind. We do not know if they were involved in the altercation.
