Dr. Dre’s Book Signing Party Ends Violently

by THE CHOSEN FEW

MONDAY APRIL 14, 2008

According to NewsNet14 a celebration party for the release of Rollin With Dre, a book about Dr. Dre’s life, ended abruptly after shots were fired ouside a crowded golf course restaurant.

Two men were hit from shots fired, one fatally wounded and the other is currently in critical condition. The cops were called when the shots were heard around 2 a.m., and they arrived to a scene of 200 to 300 people who had been leaving a party at Gordon’s on the Green at Foster Golf Links in Tukwila. The party was held by the authors of the biography.

"When we first got there, there was panic — people were trying to care for the wounded, people were trying to get out of there, people were scared. It wasn't a healthy scene," Tukwila Police Department spokesman Michael Murphy said. "It took about 20 minutes to get everything calmed down."

As the victims were being transported to the hospital over 100 people followed the ambulance to the hospital and created a chaotic scene. Its said some tried to climb in the ambulances as the victims were being taken out onto stretchers.

"We don't know if the victims were involved in a fight or if they were ambushed or what. We just don't know yet," Murphy stated, adding that a number of witnesses refused cooperate with police questioning.

Dr. Dre was not present at all during the book signing or the after party. Rollin With Dre hit stores last month via One World/Ballantine, a division of The Random House Publishing Group.

wow...the "stop snitching" campaign REALLY HELPED in this situation.

i mean, you don't have to tell on anyone to tell the police what happened.

you could simply say, "i don't know WHO did it, but here's what i saw happen."

Can you believe someone actually lost his life behind a book signing?

And this shit happened at a fucking golf course?

And the members of this country club arent even suprised.

They knew it was coming ever since tiger woods was allowed to tee off on the same fairway as them.

yea because the shooters are representatives of the vast majority of all black people.

Just like the white people in Texas who raped and molested all them kids at that Estate represent the vast majority of white people?? I hear about alot of those types of storys coming outta white America.

Fuck outta here.

No intelligent person wonders why the ghettos are the way they are. We know EXACTLY why the ghetto's are the way they are.

If U read the last line of this article it says that Dr Dre was not present at the book signing or the after party!

So what the fuck do I care?

When I read the headline I thought Dre was in a building where somebody was shootin and maybe his bodyguards had to rush him up outta there or somethin!

But it wasnt even like dat! Dre was home chillin when all this shit went down.

Like Chris Rock said. You have BLACK people and you have NIGGAZ!!! And the NIGGAZ have GOT TO GO.
Fucking shooting at a BOOK SIGNING party!!! This DEFINITELY tops niggaz going to drive-ins and shooting at the screen, when they saw Denzel Washington in Training Day, shooting at them Crips, outside Macy Gray's house in the movie.
