Beanie Sigel Shot

By NY Daily News | Friday, December 5, 2014

Rapper Beanie Sigel was injured during a Friday morning shooting in New Jersey, police said.

The 40-year-old a Jay-Z protégé was taken into surgery at Atlantic Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the torso, police said.

But it seems like Sigel is okay: Twitter user @Pawn2KingCMD  tweeted  a photo apparently showing Beanie smiling from his hospital bed.

A second victim refused treatment at the scene in Pleasantville, N.J.

The gunman’s identity and the shooting’s motive were not immediately available.

It’s not clear what the Philadelphia-based rapper was doing in New Jersey.

Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, was shot once before during a 2006 bank robbery in Philadelphia.

In 2003, he was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly fired 6 bullets into a Philadelphia nightclub, sticking a man in the foot and stomach. He was later acquitted.

Just two weeks before he was due to enter prison for tax evasion in 2012, he was arrested on weapons and drug charges.

He was released from a federal jail in August.
