At least six people were wounded when a stampede broke out at a memorial service on Monday for slain rapper Nipsey Hussle in Los Angeles, police officials said.
Hundreds had gathered in the southern part of the city outside Hussle’s The Marathon Clothing store where the Grammy-nominated musician was gunned down on Sunday in a suspected gang-linked attack that wounded two other people.
“Reports of shots fired at the vigil do not appear to be accurate. We do have injured in the chaos and are attempting to restore order,” the Los Angeles Police Department said on Twitter. An LAPD spokesman told AFP some of the injured were “possibly stabbed,” and a fire department official said two people were critically wounded. Both said it was unclear how the victims sustained the injuries.
