NC prosecutor drops charges in rapper shooting

CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) — A prosecutor in Charlotte is dropping
charges against six men in a shootout at a store where rapper Waka
Flocka Flame had been talking with fans.

The Charlotte Observer reported one man was injured in the
shooting Feb. 16 at a car stereo shop.

A spokesman for the rapper said the shooting started after
several men tried to take some of Waka Flocka Flame’s jewelry.

Prosecutors say none of the witnesses identified any of the
shooters. Prosecutors also say there was no evidence of an
attempted robbery.

The six men had faced charges that include attempted armed
robbery, conspiracy and discharging a gun into occupied property.

Waka Flocka Flame’s real name is Juaquin Malphurs.
