Rapper Rick Ross Target of Drive-By Shooting

Everyday he’s hustling, but it’s not everyday he’s dodging bullets.

Rapper Rick Ross was out celebrating his 37th birthday at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., diner early Monday morning when he became the alleged target of a drive-by shooting. Police say Ross and his girlfriend were leaving the 24-hour diner The Floridian at around 5 a.m., after eating a late meal, when someone unloaded close to two dozen bullets into Ross’ gray Rolls Royce.

Ross reportedly tried to flee the shooting, but ended up crashing his car into an apartment near 15th Avenue and Las Olas Boulevard.

“A giant kaboom knocked me off the bed and I went to the front door and all I saw was a car,” said Beth Balk, who lives in the building.

Nobody was injured in the shooting and subsequent crash, but a number of businesses in the area were damaged by stray bullets.

An employee at The Floridian told ABC News in Miami that Ross and his girlfriend were questioned by police inside the restaurant following the shooting and then driven away in a black SUV.

“They looked disheveled. They looked like they had been through something,” the employee said.

Nobody was injured in the shooting and subsequent crash, but a number of businesses in the area were damaged by stray bullets.

In addition, ”Security cameras at a building across the street from the crash were rolling during the incident and cops are hoping the footage will either reveal the identity of the shooter or at least show the vehicle”…
