Members of NWA and the cast and crew of forthcoming biopic
"Straight Outta Compton"
A shooting broke out on the set of the forthcoming
NWA biopic "Straight Outta Compton." The 1980s rap group, fronted by
rappers Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, was filming outside a courthouse in
Compton, California, when shots rang out. Witnesses reported seeing
men holding up ganging signs (with their fingers) before doing a
drive-by shooting outside the courthouse that left one person
suffering from a gunshot wound.

The film is already immersed in controversy, due to
an offensive casting call sent out by the film's producers and
studio. The casting call portrayed black women in a very negative
light. The producers of the film and Universal Pictures apologized
for the extreme offense it caused.
