Suge says he’s not dropping a dime on anyone … Suge Knight Refuses To Talk To Police After Getting Shot Via TMZ reports: Suge Knight is NOT talking to cops about the 6 bullets that penetrated his body … refusing to drop a dime on anyone. Sources close to Suge tell us … the wounded mogul is fully conscious, although on several occasions police were turned away on false info — that he was supposedly sedated. But during one visit cops were actually allowed to see Suge. A source tells us when they asked about the shooting … Suge acted disoriented, asking, “I was shot?” We’re also told witness cooperation has been minimal. If no one steps forward it will be tough to identify who pulled the trigger … even though the gunman is on surveillance video at 1Oak. Do you think Suge should cooperate with the LAPD??
Why not just break off the engagement instead of trying to murder the poor fella? Woman Offered $1,000 To Gunman To Kill Her Fiancé SMH. According to The Smoking Gun: Though she claimed to be willing to kill her fiancé herself, a Wisconsin woman opted instead to offer an informant $1000 plus sexual favors to carry out the murder, police charge. Jessica Strom, 33, allegedly wanted her beau, lawyer John Schellpfeffer, clipped at his office, according to Wausau Police Department reports. To help guide the gunman, Strom, a mother of three young children, provided a diagram of the 49-year-old Schellpfeffer’s workplace, as well as details about the daily routine of some of the attorney’s neighbors, cops noted. The gunman, Strom remarked, could “blow his brains out and walk out.” Police learned of the murder-for-hire plot last week, when the informant–a former classmate of Strom–contacted investigators. The informant, a licensed pilot, told cops that Strom asked to meet in person so that they could discuss a “business proposal.” When they got together last Wednesday evening, the man told cops, Strom asked, “Would you ever kill anybody?” When the pilot said no, Strom replied, “Well, what would it take to do it?” She added, “You’re very thorough and you’re very neat and I think you would be a good person to do this for me.” Though he had initially asked for $50,000 to kill Schellpfeffer, the informant told Strom that he would settle for $1000, adding “It’s better than nothing, I guess.” Strom replied, “And some sex!” At some point after the killing, Strom told the informant that she would meet up with him and “pay you and f**k you and whatever.” Locked up in lieu of $250,000 cash bond, Strom is scheduled for a March 12 preliminary hearing. Her dumbazz actually thought she would get away with it. WSAW-TV

Two weeks after the horrific shooting in Aurora, Colorado claimed 12 lives, another gunman opened fire today inside a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. At least seven people, including the perpetrator, were found dead at the scene, with Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt telling reporters that a wounded officer returned shots at the unnamed culprit and took his life, ending the massacre. Four bodies were found inside the temple and three outside of it, including the gunman. Darshan Dhaliwal, one of the temple’s leaders, said the final tally is unknown. As as the motivations of the shooter. “Our dear ones and near ones are injured and hurt, and we are trying to find out what happened,” Dhaliwal told WTMJ. The Sikh religion originated in northern India in the early 1500s and is comprised of approximately 25 million people around the world, 700,000 of whom reside in the United States. It’s unknown, of course, if the killer was specifically targeting members of the religion. State Rep. Josh Zepnick, who represents much of the Milwaukee area’s Sikh community, told WTMJ he was “torn to shreds” by the attack. “It’s a very peace-loving community that has successfully integrated and assimilated into the metropolitan Milwaukee area.”

SMDH. Gunfire repeatedly rocked the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn yesterday — even while Mayor Bloomberg marched nearby — as the city’s terrifying epidemic of shootings over the Labor Day weekend grew steadily worse. The orgy of violence — including eight fatalities among the 48 gunshot victims — seemed to follow the revelers everywhere, from the parade route to nearby fast-food joints and even to their own homes. In all, nine of the shooting victims were hit at or near the parade, the annual Caribbean-themed festival in Crown Heights, where a gunman had fired into the air only blocks from where Bloomberg had just begun marching. “[The gunman] shouted something, then ‘boom!’ Everyone ducked,” said a witness, Marlene Anthony, adding that the young thug was standing at Rockaway Parkway and Clarkson Avenue – just blocks from the parade staging area. “It was a bad mix of alcohol, ignorance and a fool with a gun who tries to ruin the fun of the parade.” The gunman, Devon Stevens, 25, jumped into a livery cab, but went only a couple blocks before hopping out on East 94th Street at Winthrop Street, where he ditched the gun as cops gave chase, authorities said. Hours after the parade ended, an elderly woman was killed in the crossfire of a melee between cops and a gunman. The parade had gotten off to a rocky start at 6 a.m., when a nearby McDonald’s — packed with 100 early risers prepping for the festivities — was the site of a senseless shooting. A customer Kenneth Beggs, 44, bumped into a man entering the Empire Boulevard eatery and apologized. But Anthony Carruthers, 28, allegedly refused to let the incident go and pumped bullets into Beggs’ legs. “The bullet shattered the door, so everyone ran out the other door,” said one McDonald’s cook. Tempers flared after parade ended, as well, with one reveler shot in front of a crowd on Eastern Parkway. A group of six or seven men had pummeled the victim on the ground and then an attacker pulled out a handgun and shot him in the leg. Before the gunman fled, he grabbed a pot of steaming rice from a food vendor and tossed it onto an onlooker. Cops tackled the gunman. His victim is expected to survive. The shocking 72-hour shooting tally came as police revealed that the number of people who took a bullet in the past week had skyrocketed. For the week ending Sunday, a whopping 98 people had been shot — nearly twice the 53 shot during the same week last year, the NYPD said. Those injured last week were involved in 72 incidents, compared to 40 shoot-ups in the same week in 2010, according to the Police Department. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that although the number of shootings so far this year is fewer when compared to a decade ago, the spree of gunfire over the weekend is “obviously . . . cause for concern. “We’re doing everything we can do,” added Kelly, who cited the NYPD’s shifting of resources to target guns on the streets, including boosting overtime. Some of the shootings were clearly “associated with the parade,” Kelly said. “Quite frankly, this is something that does happen with this parade.” Bloomberg said, “It was a bad weekend, no question about that . . . There’s just too many guns on the streets of this city. It’s a national problem . . . because it’s so easy to buy guns in other states, and just drive them in and sell them in the back of your car.” In all, at least 16 people were hit by bullets yesterday — 15 of them in Brooklyn. Wow. NYC has got to chill. Seriously. Source
