Hip-Hop Artist Sues San Mateo Police for Shootout Injuries

An international hip-hop artist has filed a lawsuit against the San Mateo, California police for "negligently and recklessly" shooting him when they were apprehending a robbery suspect, according to the San Mateo Daily News. Police originally claimed that the Sean Moran, known professionally as DJ Flare, had been shot by the robbery suspect when the suspect ran into an office building and fired his handgun. Moran was waiting for an appointment when he was hit by the bullet. A later investigation showed that the bullet that struck Moran was from one of the police officer's guns. The San Mateo Daily News reports that the police department's internal investigation concluded that the officers were not criminally negligent.
