Tupac dies in shootingdrama Saturday, February 28, 2009


Rapper Tupac Shakur was on the way home with Suge Knight, the record producer of Death Row Records, from a boxing match in Las Vegas, Nevada when a white Cadillac pulled up beside them and started to fire shots at Tupac and Suge. A total of 13 shots were fired, of which 4 of them hit Tupac.
An ambulance was called but Tupac died six days later from respiratory failor and cardiac arrest.
There is a theory that Notorious B.I.G. may have hired someone to shoot Tupac, but there are no evidence of that theory being true.

On 7 September 1996 at 11 p.m., Tupac Amaru Shakur or best known as Tupac, was shot in the car on the way home from a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tupac and Suge Knight, the record producer of Death Row Records, were in a black BMW driving home when all the sudden a white Cadillac pulls up beside them. Tupac usually wore a bulletproof vest and had a gun with him wherever he went, but this time he didn't have any of it with him. He got shot by someone in the Cadillac 13 times but only 4 actually hit him.

The car drove away and ambulance was called. The ambulance took Tupac to the hospital where he was treated, but after six days, he was pronounced dead at 4.03 p.m. What caused his death was respiratory failor and cardiac arrest. The doctors tried to revive him, but failed.

Nobody knows exactly why he was shot but some claim that Notorius B.I.G., who was Tupacs best friend until he joined another crew and then became his enemy, hired somebody to shoot him. Some say that it was because of jealousy that Tupac was the most famous and best rapper at the time, but since there are no evidence of it being true, nobody knows exactly why.

Hi Zyrie!
For some reason the image in your post would not load on the page. I did some editing and it seems to be working now. I hope you think it looks ok? I also added the image source.

Great writing! This news story works well since it's both dramatic and intriguing. You also have a really good sense of language - newspaper style :)

Just check: on his way home..there is no evidence (evidence is always in the singular).

Don't forget to state your source.
