Cam'Ron was shot after Saturday night/Sunday morning around midnight while waiting at a light after leaving club H2O in South West, DC. The Harlem-rapper was in the DC area performing at various night clubs in celebration of Howard University's Homecoming Weekend.
Driving by himself, Cam'ron was approached by the car-jacker shortly after becoming separated from his security on Water Street. While Cam'Ron was sitting at a red light, the assailant approached the car, grabbed at the door, and motioned for Cam'Ron to get out of the vehicle. Refusing to give up his royal blue 2006 Lamborghini, the assailant then fired several shots at Cam'Ron. One of the bullets plowed through his arm and traveled into the other.
Wounded and bleeding, Cam'ron then managed to drive himself to Howard University Hospital. DC police immediately recovered the assailant's vehicle and cell phone.
Dipset member, Juelz Santana, was in town to promote his forthcoming sophomore album, What The Game's Been Missing and Jim Jones who was additionally in town promoting his newly released album, Diary of A Summer. They both arrived at Howard University Hospital minutes after Cam'Ron's admittance. Cam'ron is listed in stable condition.
"Cam'Ron will be just fine. He's in good spirits. He's cracking jokes and is expected to be released shortly. He even asked the nurse for her phone number when he woke up", says his Manager, Joseph Sherman of New Era Entertainment.
Ironically, Dipset member Freaky Zeaky was involved in a carjack-attempt shooting in 2003.
Cam'Ron's next highly anticipated album and feature film, Killa Season, will be released on February 14, 2006.
