SHOOTING AT YOUNG JEEZY'S TORONTO CONCERT LEAVES MAN IN SERIOUS CONDITION AND GIG CANCELLED!


Above is a 2004 picture of me and Jeezy while I was the Editor of ATLcelebritynews.com, my former popular blog now turn HipHossip. I met Jeezy at lots of concert venues selling CD's from the car trunk in Atlanta.  Here at this one was Hot 1079 Summer Jam, he wanted to take a pic with me. I was the celeb. Now he is widely famous and Torontonians packing guns had to mess his first concert up!

Toronto Police are investigating a shooting early Thursday at a concert by American rapper Young Jeezy.
Shots rang out at the Sound Academy around 12:30 a.m. sending hundreds of people fleeing from the 11 Polson St. nightclub.

The male victim went to St. Michael's Hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and was in serious condition.
There was no word on suspects.

Young Jeezy, who hadn't yet taken the stage, later tweeted, "Backstage @ Sound Academy in Toronto! Police closed venue and cancelled the greatest show!!! I will be back! Next stop London, Ontario!"

Toronto Police's 51 Division's response to this shooting was POOR. I am waiting for a call back from the Suprintendent John Tanouye, Deputy Chief Peter Sloly and even Corporate communications. Several parents were tweeting and Facebooking me trying to find out what was going on with their concert going kids and all I got was an arrogant set of cops at 51 Division scrambling to find out what was going on themselves and not letting any immediate info about safety out.  They were doing things THE OLD FASHION way when everything was unfolding on twitter before everyone's eyes. 

I am a Toronto Police Community volunteer in my area and a Crime Victim Advocate among other things, and till the connection between the community and cops is improved, we collectively cannot stop this problem of firearms being packed into concerts. It's happening in the USA, Nipsey Hussle, Tyga and Honey Cocaine and even French Montana's concert in Toronto has shooting outside the club and now Young Jeezy. 

There are no suspects in custody, one man is in serious condition at a trauma hospital. I will update you on his condition. It is reported that 4 shots were fired INSIDE the venue. The Sound Academy has been the concert venue for so many big shows here.---MsKemi @HipHossip @Snitchlady @MyYoungToronto

Anyone with info about the suspect should call 416-808-5100 and ask for Detective Hintzner at 51 Division
