Shooting At Rapper Q Money's Party In Cleveland: 7 Injured

CLEVELAND, OH — At least seven people were shot when gunfire erupted at Q-Money's, a Cleveland rapper's, party on early Thursday morning. Three of the wounded people are reportedly in critical condition.

The shootings happened in the parking lot of DPG Dogpound Lounge, Fox 8 reported. Q-Money had reportedly filmed a music video in nearby Mandalay Park and then hosted a large after-party at DPG. An argument broke out in the parking lot of the eastside bar and the dispute escalated until guns were drawn and shots fired.

Police said there were nearly 1,000 people in the park for the music video shoot, and hundreds lingered on for the after-party. More people showed up at DPG Dogpound after the Beyonce and Jay-Z concert emptied out. The shootings happened at about 1:30 a.m.

Q-Money was reportedly at the bar at the time of the shooting, cleveland.com reported.

Detectives and uniformed police remained on-the-scene at the bar until about 6 a.m. The scene had been cleared by 8 a.m. on Thursday. It is not yet clear what prompted the shootings, outside of an out-of-control argument.
