Rodney King Shot in Calif. Story Full of Holes


The New York Post is reporting that Rodney King was shot in the face and arm before he biked to his San Bernadino home late Wednesday.

He sustained minor injuries as a result.

According to King-- whose videotaped beating by four Los Angeles police officers and their subsequent acquittal touched off riots in 1992-- two suspects, a man and a woman, approached him and demanded his bicycle. When King rode away, he was shot.

There are some discrepancies among other articles we've read on this subject. The LA Times is reporting that King, 42, wasn't actually shot in the face, despite initial reports. The Times says King endured minor injuries after being shot in the shoulder with pellets likely fired from a shotgun.

Police, reportedly, say it appears King was shot from a long-distance--hence the reason his injuries aren't more severe.

One thing is certain. Rodney King was shot.

We want to add that the whole thing sounds like a ploy for publicity. The cryptic circumstances are just too crazy.

No suspects have been identified.
