FABOLOUS CHARGED WITH WEAPONS VIOLATIONS

LATEST: Rapper FABOLOUS has been charged with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon, just one day after being shot in the leg by an unknown assailant.

Fabolous at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards held at Radio City Music Hall. New York City - 31.08.06

Police found two loaded guns in the car that was rushing the hip-hop star to hospital early Tuesday morning (17OCT06) in New York City.

Authorities claim the altercation started after an unknown man approached the 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is JOHN JACKSON, and opened fire, striking him once in the thigh.

Fabolous and his three cohorts, who have also been charged, jumped into a vehicle and sped from the scene, running a red light in the process.

Cops pulled the car over and upon closer inspection discovered two loaded guns, both of which were allegedly unlicensed.

All four men in the vehicle, including a bleeding Fabolous, were arrested. Police are still looking for the shooter.

If convicted on all charges, the men could spend anywhere from three and a half years to 15 years in prison.

The BREATHE rapper, who is currently listed in stable condition, posted $15,000 (GBP8300) bail and is due back in court on Friday (20OCT06).
