Tory allegedly fired shots from outside of his vehicle, with bullets apparently hitting Megan's feet

A new twist in the Tory Lanez vs Megan Thee Stallion gun firing case dating back to July 2020 led to a whole new drama. An LAPD detective named Ryan Stogner testified in court on Tuesday, December 14 that Tory Lanez shouted “Dance, b***h!" before allegedly shooting the female emcee in the foot. According to Rolling Stone, the detective said that Megan told him that Tory, whose real name is Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, was intoxicated when the incident took place.
 
According to the publication, Ryan Stogner said, “[Megan] observed Mr. Peterson holding a firearm, and then she observed him start to shoot.” He added, “Megan immediately felt pain to her feet, observed blood, fell to the ground, and then crawled to an adjacent driveway of a residence…She described her injuries as bleeding profusely.”  The cop further shared that the rapper later apologized for his actions and “offered her money and begged her to please not say anything. Stogner also added that Megan told him that Tory Lanez made "a reference to the fact he was already on probation." The 29-year-old rapper then took to his Twitter account to share what went down in court from his end.

After observing all the drama on the Internet, Tory Lanez then took to Twitter to share his take on the entire matter. The ‘Say It’ hitmaker said that his lawyers stated contradictory statements in the court for 45 minutes to prove his innocence. He added that no false story should reach to the media. “NAH … i need someone to REPORT what was REALLY said in court today, 45 minutes of my lawyer stating contradictory evidence that proves my innocence should never come back as one false story forced to the media.”
 
According to multiple reports, Tory Lanez was very much present in the court during the testimony. Tory and Megan were involved in a gunfire incident which dates back to July 2020. Things went haywire when Tory allegedly fired four shots from outside of his vehicle on the night of July 12, with two bullets reportedly hitting Megan's feet. Apparently, it all happened when an argument brewed up in the car which ultimately took a wrong turn. The two, who used to be really close friends, dissed each other indirectly on many occasions with the help of their songs or performances at different concerts. The Brampton native was charged with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm, and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle in October 2020. He pleaded not guilty to both charges in November 2020. Tory Lanez could face 22 years in prison if convicted.
