Method Man accused of shooting fan

Rapper/actor Method Man is being sued by a Houston fan who says he shot her with a pellet gun after she asked for his autograph, according to the Houston Chronicle. Mary Anderson says the shooting occurred following a concert on November 19, 2008. She claims he was signing autographs out the back window of his tour bus. When she handed him her concert ticket to sign, he suddenly pulled out the gun and shot her six times in the stomach and chest. Anderson filed a police report and was treated for minor injuries, according to her attorney, Daniel Horowitz, who told ABC: “These aren’t life or death injuries. She’s alive. She’s not paralyzed. She’s moved on with her life as far as the injuries are concerned, but punitive damages are to punish the person who did the damage and that’s the reason we’ve done this.” The suit, which does not ask for a specific amount, seeks compensation for physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment and disfigurement. ~Alexandra Heilbron
