OK, Suge Knight was shot at a nightclub. That’s one.

Jonathan – it would be a list way below the national (or LA city) list. It’s very rare – rare enough to rank a story on WeHoVille. We know the horrible Palm apt story last year, but can anyone cite another? I’m sure there have been (including suicide, one of the most frequent times people are shot), but I can’t recall another.

How the hell do you discharge a hand gun accidentally?

I feel like we should keep a running toll board of people shot in West Hollywood. Should be live/online since the number seems to go up so often.
