(California - WABC, November 29, 2007) - There are reports out of California that Rodney King was apparently shot and wounded on a San Bernardino street corner late Wednesday night.


Police said he then biked home to Rialto to report the incident.

King, the 42-year-old man who gained national fame when his 1991 beating by Los Angeles police was caught on videotape, called Rialto police at 11:39 p.m. to report the shooting, Sergeant Don Lewis told the Press-Enterprise.

Lewis told the paper that King had been struck in the face and arm with a shotgun. King claimed the shooting occurred at 5th Street and Meridian Avenue in San Bernardino, just east of the Rialto city line.

After police arrived at King's Jackson Street home, King and others inside appeared intoxicated, Lewis said. Few were cooperative in providing information, he told the paper.

Rialto officers reportedly contacted San Bernardino police to take over the investigation.

King was then taken to a local hospital, where his condition is unknown. The wounds were not believed to be life-threatening, Lewis said.

No further information on what caused the shooting was available.

Since gaining his fame, King has had several brushes with Inland police agencies, most recently a 2005 arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, the newspaper reported.

Can't we all just get along?

I guess not.

...I'm about a 5-10 minute drive from there...

Evel Knevil was famous for breaking bones, and Rodney is not much different. This guy has had one of the most dramatic lives ever!

And of course he is innocent..... Why is he always in the cross hairs?

Damn, hasn't he suffered enough!!

Rinluv said:

No. If he wants to stay out of trouble he can STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. It is no coincidence that the scumbag who set off the LA riots cannot live a clean life.

What a silly, bloody bugger. What's he gone and done a thing like getting shot for? Dear, oh dear.

this is exactly who I thought about when reading that name ... I really should hit the sack now
