Wyclef’s hand injured in shooting
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 March 2011
Wyclef Jean has been released from hospital after being treated for a gunshot wound to his hand this weekend, it has been revealed.
Jean was in his home country of Haiti for this weekend’s presidential elections. Since realising he couldn’t run for the role of President in the country himself, having not been sufficiently resident in the country, Jean has been supporting another musician turned politician, Michel Martelly.
He was shot on Saturday night, but was released from hospital yesterday. Jean’s brother confirmed the shooting had occurred but provided no more information, while a post on the singer’s Twitter feed read: “We have spoken to Wyclef, he is OK. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers – Management”.
