BULLETS FLY ON SET OF LATIFAH FILM: Man in stable condition after hit in the torso and leg.(August 18, 2009)
*Shots were fired Sunday on the Manhattan set of Queen Latifah's upcoming film "Just Wright," and it wasn't part of the script.
Workers dressing an area outside of a Chelsea housing project say the victim got out of a car and began arguing with two men, according to the New York Daily News. Then, they say, someone started shooting. Feliberto Rivera said he was hanging "no parking" signs when he saw a man lying on the street outside, yelling for help. The victim, hit in the torso and the leg, was in stable condition at a nearby hospital at press time. Despite the shooting, filming was to begin at the location on Monday. "Just Wright" stars Latifah as a physical therapist who helps a New Jersey Nets basketball player (played by Common) rehab his knee. Filming at the team's arena in the Meadowlands last week, Latifah, who grew up in Newark, told the New York Post's Fred Kerber: "Darryl Dawkins used to get his hair cut at the barber shop over my house. So I've been a Nets fan since I was a kid." Speak Out
