Update: Was Chris Brown Intended Target In Suge Shooting (Details)

Reports TMZ:

Cops are focusing on beef between gang members that triggered the nightclub shooting that landed Suge Knight in an ICU with multiple bullet wounds …#Update (He was shot 6 Times)

law enforcement sources tell TMZ. We’re told cops are interested in a common denominator with Chris Brown, Suge and Game — Bloods affiliation. Eyewitnesses tell us Brown was throwing up gang signs before the shooting inside 1OAK early Sunday and he was performing with a red bandana — the Bloods’ moniker. Game — who got in a fight outside 1OAK before the shooting because they wouldn’t let him in — is a known and proud member of the Bloods. His album is called Blood Money.

As for Suge … one of the most notorious things about him is his Bloods affiliation. And we know … cops are interested in this — there were several known gang bangers surrounding Chris at the time of the shooting. This could all be problematic for Brown …. He’s still on probation in the Rihanna beating case, and hanging with gang members and throwing gang signs is not going to impress the judge. Suge is out of surgery … according to family sources. We’re told Suge was shot 6 times. He’s currently in ICU, but is expected to recover.

And now…MTO picks up the story.

MediaTakeOut.com spies were IN THE BUILDING last night at the 1Oak party and it was A MOVIE. Tons of celebs, and beautiful people too. But it all went SOUTH when a group of men tried to MURDER CHRIS BROWN!!!

You see, ever since Chris Brown got OUT OF REHAB – he’s changed his lifestyle and his circle of friends. Our snitch explains, “Chris used to run with a bunch of gang bangers who were really scary. When he got out [of rehab], he cut them all off. I guess they’re UPSET about that.”
The inside snitch tells us that Chris was being THREATENED by his ex-homies . . . and they have been trying to EXTORT MONEY out of him for weeks. Well last night when Chris was at the VMAs it all came to a head. MediaTakeOut.com explained, “It was [Chris Brown's former homies] shooting. And they were trying to hit Chris.”
