Another witness who came to watch French work on the video said a bystander was allegedly robbed of his belongings, including a watch, keys, and wallet. The reporting of the crime scene also was unclear whether or not bullets were fired into the nearby crowd or if the gunfire was isolated.
“[He asked to] call his mother and see if we can get spare car keys and make sure, you know, he’s OK, and then the gunshots went off,” Ced Mogul, a local rapper, said. “At least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid. It sounded like an assault rifle.”
“I took off running, and I was looking back, but I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just duck first,” Mogul continued, explaining his mindset during the shooting. “And then people started asking me, ‘Can you help me? When I realized people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot.”
Authorities have stated they were unsure where French Montana was during the shooting, but it seems he wasn’t injured by gunfire. TMZ reports that security safely ushered the Moroccan-born artist away from the calamity.
