Ex-NBA player Rice shot at Atlanta restaurant owned by rapper
BY KATIE REILLY
Former NBA player Glen Rice Jr. was shot in the leg during a fight at a restaurant in downtown Atlanta owned by rapper T.I. on Sunday night and was later charged with reckless conduct and possession of marijuana, police said on Monday.
The incident involving Rice, who played parts of two seasons with the NBA's Washington Wizards, began as a "verbal altercation" inside the Scales 925 restaurant and then continued outside with a fight in the parking lot, where Rice was shot in the leg by a man wearing a red shirt, police said.
Restaurant security cameras showed Rice, 24, running from the parking lot after the shooting and throwing a black revolver onto a stairwell before being picked up in a black Porsche, according to police reports.
Rice was driven to a local hospital, where police found marijuana and a passport belonging to him in a bag left near the Porsche, police said. Rice also was carrying $6,000 in cash when he was shot, police said.

Former athlete, "musician", gunshot wound, weapons, drugs, cash, and a passport? All this story is missing is sex and a pretty white girl or a Kardashian and it would get it's own cable network.
