So Solid Crew's Lisa Maffia has been talking to reporters about a fatal shooting that took place on Easter Sunday at a London club where she was due to perform. Describing the incident as a 'shocking tragedy' she joined fellow Crew members in calling for an end to the growing gun culture in Britain.
Reports suggest violence erupted at the Twice As Nice club night at Farringdon's Turnmills when eight men burst into the club and opened fire. Although at least one club-goer was wounded it was when members of two gangs - including the eight men - spilled out onto the street and carried on shooting that one Michael Trevor Francois was fatally shot.
Maffia yesterday told reporters: "This is a terrible tragedy - and it's a shocking thing when kids who just want to go out and party, to celebrate Easter, are caught up in this senseless violence. Guns should have no place in our society, we should do everything we can to encourage ending this violent culture - which is why I along with others in So Solid Crew are taking part in the 'Disarm' Campaign."
Maffia and other key Crew members will perform at a gig at Ocean in Hackney this Thursday as part of that anti-guns 'Disarm' initiative.
