GUNMAN AT KANYE WEST CONCERT GETS LIFE
A man who shot two security guards at a KANYE WEST concert in the UK last year (FEB06) has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of attempted murder.
Gunman ABIDAN RAPHAEL, 27, fired six bullets at security guards when he and his girlfriend JOANNE BUSHELL, 22, were discovered after sneaking into the National Exhibition Centre Arena in Birmingham, England, without a ticket on the final date of West’s Touch The Sky Tour.
They had twice attempted to force their way into the auditorium earlier that night, reports AllHipHop.com.
Security worker JOHN TOUGH was shot in face, stomach and foot, while his colleague was shot in the abdomen.
Raphael was convicted of two counts of attempted murder on Friday (02FEB07), in addition to weapons and assault violations.
Bushell was found guilty of assisting Raphael, and sentenced to three years behind bars. (MT/WNWCAH/SC) WENN - FIRST - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 04 FEBRUARY 2007
