UPDATE: The Urban Daily states that witnesses spoke to NewsCenter 5…they have also posted a comment from Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz (below).

“The incident was between two vehicles whose occupants knew each other. The driver of a Bentley shot the driver of a red Dodge SUV, who exited his car and was taken to the Duxbury police station by a passerby. The injured red Dodge SUV driver, who officials say was in his 40s, was then transported by ambulance to the hospital.The Bentley driver has been arrested and will be arraigned Monday on a charge of armed assault with intent to murder.”

This is all taken from Rash Entertainment, so I can only take it for what I see until we see some additional sources:

Word came down from the wire in Boston that rapper and reality star Benzino was shot while attending his mother’s funeral. It’s being reported that the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast member is in critical condition.

Allegedly, Benzino was shot 3 times while driving away from the funeral.

A few days earlier, Benzino announced the passing of his beloved mother via twitter and family and friends were quick to send their condolence.

“God knows I have been through alot in my life, BUT EVERY INCH OF GOOD, KINDNESS AND LOVE IN MY SOUL IS BECAUSE OF THIS WOMAN. A BIG PART OF ME IS LOST NOW AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, MA WORDS CANT EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR YOU.I WILL MISS EVERY BREATHING MOMENT, I DON’T KNOW HOW I WILL CONTINUE KNOWING YOU ARE NOT HERE. Im lost.”

“Be strong @iambenzino I love you big Bro,” Stevie J. posted to IG, before reposting Benzino’s collaged photo of his mother with the captions “Rest In Peace #MommaZino”
