French Montana found safety inside KFC amid Miami Gardens shooting

The sound of gunfire outside a popular Florida soul food joint sent panicked patrons and passersby running for cover, including rapper French Montana, who found safety inside a nearby KFC restaurant.

The shooting occurred in the parking lot outside The Licking in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Thursday around 8 p.m. Bullets struck as many as 10 people, including four who were taken to the hospital by emergency responders and another six who drove themselves, police said. Of those wounded, one victim remained in critical condition, though all are expected to survive.

A rep for Montana told TMZ the rapper was not hurt in the shooting. He managed to find shelter inside a KFC, where he remained hidden for nearly 30 minutes, according to video obtained by the outlet. While he does not say much in the clip, the 38-year-old performer can be seen nervously glancing out the window on several occasions.
