Earlier this week, Lil Baby‘s music video shoot in Atlanta was disrupted by gunfire, and now the audio of a 911 call from the incident has emerged online. The recording, obtained by TMZ, captures the chaos that ensued after shots were fired, revealing that one of the three victims was hit in the neck. According to TMZ, the shooting stemmed from an altercation between “two unknown parties” during the filming of the video by members of Lil Baby’s label, Quality Control. Lil Baby himself was not involved in the altercation.
Tensions escalated between the rival groups, leading to an exchange of gunfire that left bystanders injured. When police arrived, paramedics were already on the scene, attending to two of the three gunshot victims. All three victims, who are male, are expected to recover fully from their injuries. The police confiscated several vehicles from the scene as part of their investigation.
The shooting took place on Tuesday, May 14th, near a commercial area in Atlanta where the music video was being filmed. Shortly after the incident, Atlanta police reported that the three men had sustained gunshot wounds to the chest, arm, and neck but were expected to survive. Authorities also noted that the injured men were not believed to be part of Lil Baby’s production team, and their identities have not been disclosed to the public.
Lil Baby has not yet made a statement regarding the shooting. The incident highlights the potential dangers and unforeseen violence that can occur even during routine activities such as a music video shoot, underscoring the need for heightened security and caution in such settings.
This event also raises questions about the safety measures in place during high-profile video shoots and public events. The ability for such a violent incident to occur suggests that more stringent security protocols might be necessary to protect not only the artists and their teams but also any bystanders who might be caught in the crossfire. In the wake of this incident, production teams and artists may need to reevaluate their security arrangements to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The entertainment industry, particularly in high-risk areas, might see a shift toward more comprehensive safety measures to ensure the well-being of everyone involved.
