Rapper Finese2Tymes aka Ricky Hampton arrested day after shooting at Little Rock nightclub
2017-07-02
[Breitbart] LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Rapper Finese 2Tymes was arrested in Alabama early Sunday, a day after a shooting at one of his concerts in Little Rock left 28 people injured, the U.S. Marshal Service said.

Ricky Hampton of Memphis, Tennessee, also known as Finese2Tymes, was arrested early Sunday, according to an inmate roster at an Alabama jail. The U.S. Marshal Service said Hampton and another man were arrested at the Side Effects Club in Birmingham, where he was performing.

The Marshal Service says the men were arrested on a "fugitive from justice" warrant. It’s not yet clear whether the arrests were related to the shooting. Little Rock’s police chief previously had said Hampton had outstanding charges in Arkansas.

Twenty-five people between the ages of 16 and 35 suffered gunshot wounds, and three others were hurt, following the shooting at the Power Ultra Lounge early Saturday.

City officials intend to shut down the club. State regulators suspended the club’s liquor license Saturday and its landlord later posted an eviction notice.

The volley of gunfire inside the Power Ultra Lounge early Saturday came so fast that investigators believe multiple people had to have been involved. Police Chief Kenton Buckner credited quick work by first responders for there being no fatalities.

Courtney Swanigan, 23, told The Associated Press that when the gunfire rang out, "I just closed my eyes, got down on the ground and put my hands on my head."

City officials said they would move Monday to shut down the club under a "criminal abatement" program. State regulators suspended the club’s liquor license earlier Saturday.

#2  Seems like these thugs are inaccurate and underarmed. We deserve at least a few fatalities out of the deal.

Layers and layers of fact-checkers.
