YouTube star CJ So Cool reveals he was shot multiple times during home invasion
Early yesterday morning (Jan. 12), CJ So Cool revealed that he was the victim of a home invasion. In a post on his Instagram account, he stated that he’d been shot multiple times in the process:
“In the hospital, I got shot four times in a home invasion at 3 a.m. Please keep me and my kids in your prayers, so far I’m doing okay.”
The YouTube creator and social media influencer also shared a video from his hospital bed. In the short clip, he expressed his appreciation for his fans and loved ones’ support during such a terrifying time:
“I’m getting so much love right now on Instagram, Facebook, text message, phone calls. Everyone that’s reaching out to me with positive regards, I appreciate you. I appreciate all the love. Like, this is something that, if I would’ve passed away, I wouldn’t have been able to see. So it’s kinda, it’s a very warm feeling that I get to embrace all this love and I get to still be on this earth, which only means that God has a plan for me.”
He also made it clear that he is clueless as to why he was selected as a target while reminding viewers to be safe: “I just want everybody watching to know this is not fake, this was not staged, I don’t wish this on anybody. Get inside, it’s not a joke, it’s not a game, especially while you’re just trying to sleep. Like, I literally was awakened out of my sleep to two people trying to kill me. For what? I don’t know. I’ve never did anything to anybody. I’ve never did anything wrong to anybody. But I’m just grateful to be here, and I’ma get back. I’ma get better.”
