Intro

"At twelve twenty-five A.M., Wednesday
2Pac was on his way into a Times Square building
To record at an the eighth floor studio with another rapper
But in the lobby, Shakur was shot several times
Including two graze wounds to the head
2pac's lawyers said the attack appeared to be a set up"
"Against doctor's orders
Tupac Shakur checked himself out of the hospital
Less than twenty four hours after being shot five times
On the way to a Manhattan recording studio"
"Tupac Shakur secures one clean legal victory this year
As he's dismissed of assault charges brought against him
When he allegedly shot at two off-duty Atlanta cops on Halloween last year
The case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence"
"More controversy surrounding Tupac Shakur"
"Meanwhile, in 2Pac news, at about six forty-five tonight
Shakur may have lowered his own chances of surviving the attack
By checking himself out of the hospital that probably saved his life"
"Tupac Shakur checked into the Metropolitan hospital yesterday
Under an assumed name, his lawyer said that he had connections
But wouldn't say what kind, that could provide top notch security
For the injured rap star"
"Shakur underwent surgery today"
"The shooting of Tupac Shakur, here in New York City
Once again underscores the violence that has surrounded this man
Since he shot to super-stardom in the world of music and entertainment"
