Shots Fired -- Who Wants to Kill Kathy Griffin?!

Gunshots rang out in front of one of the most celeb-packed hotspots in Hollywood last night, leaving one man bleeding from a bullet wound and shattered concrete -- littering the entrance where stars like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan often check in.

A short while after our cameras caught Kathy Griffin walking out of Teddys at the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd., someone inside a passing vehicle opened fire toward the club. As the panicked crowd ducked for cover, the lead continued to fly. On this video, a bullet can be heard whizzing past our cameraman's head as he continues to roll. At least one person was injured after he was struck by debris on the side of his stomach. Other bullets connected with the front entrance, where several chunks of concrete were blasted out of the walls.

The LAPD is currently investigating the incident. So far, no arrests have been made.

50. Someone took a shot at Griffin???? Hooray for them! I'd like to take a shot at her myself. Never cared much for her, but was completly turned off by one of her comedy "specials"...... She stood on stage making fun of everyone on the A and B list, then she broke down in her limo, crying after Jay Leno said something that she "thought" was unflattering to her! What a hypocrit!! She'l never get off that "D List".. the only reason she's on it is because they don't have an "E List"!

51. Thank God nobody was seriously hurt! I LOVE Kathy Griffin! She is one of the funniest and most talented comediennes around! Anybody who says otherwise can SUCK IT!!!!! :-)

52. Wow, I am in awe at some of the stupid, immature and downright EVIL posts here! How could somebody possibly WISH death upon someone else, especially someone they have never met? What has Kathy Griffin ever done that would warrant these wishes of death upon her? If you don't like her or if her comedy is not for you, fine, move along. But to post that you wish she would have been struck and killed is downright SICK and EVIL! Your lives must really suck for you to be filled with such hatred! Shame on you!

53. Kathy will definitely use this in her acts, but who cares she's freakin hilarious. Love her on Bravo!!!

54. Well, in true Kathy Griffin style, she was probably dodging a hit from Columbian drug lords who were after her at the behest of that sweaty puffy coke whore, Rene Zellwegger! (not Lindsay Lohan, as one commenter incorrectly pointed out). I imagine she was then spirited away by a group of Australian drag queens to a better life!!!

55. I laughed.
Kathy, you get what comes back around to you.
Watch that back of yours.
Hope no one around you gets hurt, that would not be fair.
You continue to hurt, it will come full circle.
Gee, she is hard to look at.
So relieved she will not be on the View. Gag me with a spoon.

Washington girl.

All I can say is, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!!! I can't stand Kathy Griffin and she is no comedian. A comedian is funny, that is, unless you think making fun of handicapped people is funny. How sick is that????? So many people can't stand her that the suspect list would be a mile long. Maybe they could watch her shows and all the people she has made fun of in an attempt to make a name for herself and that would narrow it down to only about a million people!

57. Um, did anyone remember to say that violence is sooooo uncool? Nooooooooooo. Freaks, all of you, who wanted Kathy (or anyone else) hit.

58. Kathy Griffin is my favorite comic....She is adorable!

59. You're all pathetic losers if you wish dead upon someone just because you don't like their comedy. The reason most people don't like her is because they just don't "get" her. But I really can't see the logic in wishing someone had shot her. I suggest you all seek mental help.

60. I just started watching her show and it is very funny. Not many shows can make me laugh out loud. How can anyone even joke about hoping someone got shot and possibly killed? Anyone that says stupid crap like that needs some help. You go Kathy!!!!! I`d take her out and show her a great time in Detroit since I see shes always going out with losers. I`m good looking,44, and love RED-heads,lol. Tbone382001@aol.com
