Last night the first continuation show in almost 3 weeks popped off, but it wasn't a good welcome back show. From the very start drama started popping off. It was reported that Tay's crew was outside the arena and police increased their presence and arena security quietly avoided a crowd rumble by escorting the girls away. But as everyone began showing their tickets and id's and being searched to go inside, the girls returned and once again police told them politely to leave or they have to show tickets. The girls insisted they all had tickets and the security told them they have to go to the back of the line and wait their turn. They went to the back and by the time they got to the front, it just so happens that a girl in front had a group ticket for her and 3 others who were with her, the same amount of people in Tay,s crew. The girl had the ticket sticking out her bag and the head girl (Aaliyah) snatched the ticket stub out her bag quietly. The person behind them obviously saw her do it but she didn't say anything until later and the girl didn't feel her take it from her bag. When they got to the front, the girl told the security that she has a party of 4, and she was going through her bag looking for her ticket and they told her she can not enter without a ticket. Then they pushed her group to the side while she continued looking through her purse to let others in, and the girl happened to notice that the ticket Aaliyah pulled out was hers and she screamed out "That's my god damn ticket! Aaliyah looked at her up and down and said "excuse me" The girl said "Look all our names are on it! The security looked at the names and asked Tay's group what's all of your names? They all said the exact names on the ticket, so the other girl was looking bad, but they got discovered when they asked for I'd and the other girls group all pulled out their I'd with their names on it, Tay's crew couldn't do that. That's when the girl behind them spoke up and said "This one right here (she pointed to Aaliyah) took the ticket out her purse and put it in her pocket" Aaliyah started arguing with her and knowing that they were busted, she started fighting with the girl and the other girl jumped in. The police and security broke it up before it got too bad and Tay's crew was placed under arrest. The group with the real I'ds were allowed to go in and were apologized too. The other girl was also allowed to go in and the rest went smooth. Now for the actual show. When it started everyone clapped and cheered as NiNi walked on stage and she took a second to address the crowd and apologized for what went down outside and said "Hope everyone is ok" Then T and C exploded from a blast of fire onto the stage and were met with loud roars and cheers. The first half of the show went fine and some big names were in the crowd like Rick Ross, Paris Hilton and Michelle Obama and the trio performed their most popular songs and collabs and dance moves and ensured that not a bored minute was possible. The second half however is when things started going bad. Over the walkie talkies a voice said that "We think we have some trouble, lock all the doors for now. The security in the aisles ran but no one thought much of it due to all attention being on the trio. Apparently it was a group of people outside and had guns, but when police and security got outside, no one was there and they immediately checked inside the arena to see if they somehow snuck inside. When the legendary trio started performing their new threesome collaboration song "Welcome To Cali" that's when you heard "pop pop pop pop pop" everyone heard it but no one knew if that was apart of the show since Ninis shows are always filled of things that go bang, but N T and C knew it wasn't apart of the show and they suddenly stopped performing and the music stopped and all 3 were staring out into the crowd with a confused look on their face. That's when the audience knew that wasn't part of the show, then suddenly "pop pop pop" three more shots were fired and a security officer quickly ran on stage and grabbed Nini Tinashe and China and ran them off backstage and the crowd was super panickef, people were yelling, crying and going crazy trying to get out the arena. At least 64 cops were trying to get everyone out and within 15 minutes everyone was out of the arena running away. When all was said and done police reported that 3 people were killed after being hit by stray bullets, two received minor injuries and one police officer died shortly after being taken to the hospital after being hit in the chest. Also a stage promoter was listed in serious condition after being hit in the jaw. Police searched desperately high and low for the shooter or shooters but they found no one and cameras didn't catch anything so the suspect or suspects are unknown. It is unknown if the shots were meant for N T and C, or if it was retaliation for the fight an hour earlier, but police immediately suspected Tay's crew since they were the ones causing problems from the get go, but they knew off the bat that when they were arrested they had no weapons and neither one of them could've posted bail within an hour since it takes over an hour to get booked in the system before bail is set. But being that the group has big connections in big places, they know they can hire a hit man from jail so they questioned them but they deny any involvement in the shooting. They did admit however, that the reason they were there was to fight Nini Tinashe and China, but they say that they were not planning on using any weapons or hurt anyone in that way. Police remain skeptical but without any hard evidence they can't book them on a murder charge, so all they can charge them with is disorderly conduct disturbing the peace and fighting in public, which are all misdemeanors and will most likely get thrown out and they'll just have a fine. Cops have been in the streets all day looking for the shooters and since a cop was killed, it's very personal for them but no one saw anyone suspicious besides Tay's crew and no one has any information. The public though is very involved in the case and are fully cooperating with cops to help find out who is responsible.. Cops reported that the legend trio are ok and they have nor been hurt. All 3 took to Twitter this morning to honor the dead Nini posted "I would like to give my condolences and apologies to the families of the victims, it makes my heart even sadder because it was my show and I feel the proper procedures were not followed as far as security goes. May you guys live on forever R.I.P ♡" The other two tweeted similar to that. An investigation is being conducted to find out how the person or people were able to get in when it's cameras all over and security and how guns were able to get brought in without setting off the metal detectorS and police think it mightve been an inside job, as in someone on the inside allowed the shooter or shooters to go past the metal detectors to carry out their mission, so everyone who was working last night is being questioned today. A video has gone viral today of last night and it's all over the news and the Internet. It shows a fan recording the 3 performing and then you hear the first shots and you see the trio stop, then the person recording is heard saying what the hell was that? And then you hear the next round of shots and the person recording runs with the camera in her hand and you see the three get grabbed to safety. The video quickly ends when it appears the person falls with the camera then the screen goes black. It is unknown if she is one of the ones who were hit and that's why she fell or if she just tripped and broke the camera. Police still haven't
released the names of the victims. Stay tuned for more info on this developing story.....
