A few hours after a drive-by shooting left a fan dead and two wounded in Philadelphia, French Montana released a statement regarding the incident below:

“My bus was located in the vicinity of the incident that took place away from the venue, last night in Philadelphia. I had a peaceful concert and was not involved. My deepest thoughts and sympathies go out to the families of the victims, as well as all of those who were affected.”

Reports Global Grind:

According to NBC News, two people were injured and one died in the drive-by shooting. Police say the shooters opened fire at French’s tour bus as he and his entourage checked into a local hotel.

Authorities confirmed that three people are currently in custody.

Last night the rapper posted a picture of a police officer questioning him on Instagram with the caption: “nobody got time for this shit.”

The photo was taken at 12:21 a.m. He hasn’t tweeted since that last post. This story is developing.

And now…pics from the scene courtesy of ABC News:

It appears that French Montana & Co. (Meek Mill was reportedly also present) was hanging out at a Holiday Inn at Penn’s Landing in Philly following a show when someone drove up to his tour bus and opened fire. One 27-year-old man was shot in the stomach (he was pronounced dead after being rushed to Hahnemann University hospital) and another individual was hit in the shoulder (and is currently at Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition).

From NBC Philadelphia:

“It’s just ignorant. You fire into a crowd and you’re gonna hit somebody. In this case, unfortunately, someone was killed. Don’t know if they had anything to do with anything, if they were a fan or what,” said Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.

Twenty-five people, including French Montana, his entourage and fans are being questioned by police. Three people were taken into custody for carrying guns. Investigators say that someone iinside the bus returned fired after the intial shots rang out.

So far, there are no suspects in the deadly shooting.
