Gunshots at a Meek Mill concert in Wallingford, Conn. late Friday night have left two people dead and two people with non-life-threatening injuries.
Meek Mill had been performing at the Oakdale Theatre, where doors opened at 8 p.m. The Philly rapper was caught on camera leaving the venue at around 11 p.m. as the first shot rang out.
In a video obtained by The Shade Room, several figures are seen leaving the venue quite casually and heading for a car before one gunshot is heard, leading to utter pandemonium. Police arrived to find four victims on the scene, two fatally wounded.
The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made. Wallingford Police Lt. Cheryl Bradley said the shooting isn’t related to Meek Mill. James Bozzi, the head of marketing in Connecticut for Live Nation (which owns the Oakdale Theater), told My Record Journal that the venue has no plans to postpone or cancel its next show.
Meanwhile, Meek isn’t convinced of the news. In a video posted to Snapchat, Meek contested the reports that four people were shot, two of which suffering fatal wounds, outside of the Oakdale Theater
“They really trying to slow these bags up,” he says in the clip. “Looking at this Sh!t … two people died, two people got shot … it’s a lie. Someone hatin’ trying to slow these bags up, ’cause we scoopin’ up 250s.”
