TMZ reports that Knight was “shot in the stomach and arm and apparently in other places as well.” The site quotes model Tyson Beckford, Robert Ri'chard and Apple de Ap all saying that they were inside the pre-VMA party when they heard “four shots ring out inside the club.”

The Daily Mail reports that the the suspected gunmen were apprehended by police while officers were searching the club for clues as well as quizzing party goers over the night’s events. The club was said to have been evacuated with nearby roads sealed off and several partygoers detained for questioning.
Among the guest at the event were singer Justin Bieber and rapper The Game. In the moments after the shots were fired, host Brown was said to have climbed onto what looked like a bar in the nightclub, and “apparently angrily remonstrating with other clubgoers as a bouncer told partygoers to 'Get down’”, reports the Mail.

Bizarrely this is not the first time Suge Knight has been shot at at pre VMA party. In 2005 the producer suffered a gunshot wound to the leg when attending a pre awards bash hosted by rapper Kanye West.
