Rap mogul Suge Knight got shot several times last night while attending a pre-party for today’s MTV VMAs, according to TMZ.

Knight was one of three people struck by bullets during a melee at the 10AK nightclub in West Hollywood. Knight was able to walk to a car which took him to a local hospital for surgery. Sources tell TMZ he was hit in the arm, stomach and other areas.

Tyson Beckford, Robert Ri’chard and Apple de Ap all tell TMZ … they were inside the pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown when they heard 4 shots ring out inside the club.

The site later reported Knight was hit six times and is “expected to recover,” but one of the party goers remains in critical condition.
