2 Shot at T.I. and Jeezy Concert in North Carolina During CIAA Weekend

The day ended very poorly for two individuals at a Jeezy and T.I. concert. According to police reports, two people were shot at a concert headlined by T.I. and Jeezy at Charlotte nightclub, Label. The concert also featured Yo Gotti and Diddy.

One man and one woman were hospitalized after the event, which was hosted in honor of the annual CIAA Weekend, which is centered on the post season basketball tournament for the collegiate conference.

"Two people injured with gunshot wounds. One person drove themselves to the hospital and one person was transported by ambulance. Both are non-life-threatening injuries," said Captain J.D. Thomas, watch commander for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to USA Today.

As you might imagine with such a traumatic incident, there are conflicting reports about when the shots were fired. As Rolling Stone notes, some claim that the artists were on stage, but TMZ reports that the shooting began right after the threesome were already done with their sets.

All three artists are uninjured.

Some videos have appeared on Instagram by people who are either unfazed by gunfire or are more interested in the video than their own personal safety.

Label has released a statement on the incident and says they plan on continuing their weekend festivities, despite the shooting.

"The exact circumstances concerning the incident have yet to be determined. Officials at Label are cooperating with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department concerning their investigation of this matter. Tonight's events at Label will take place as scheduled. It should be noted that there will continue to be very substantial security for all Label events during tournament weekend."
