Bad news, everybody. Just when things were starting to look up for Beanie Sigel, we get news that the Philly rapper has sustained a gunshot wound to his torso following an altercation in Pleasantville, New Jersey this morning. He had just been released from prison in August, and just showed up on his first new track since being released a few weeks ago.

The Press of Atlantic City writes:

"Sigel was shot in the torso and transported to AtlanticCare Regional Medical Center’ city campus. Police confirmed the victim as Dwight Grant, which is Sigel’s real name. The second victim reportedly refused medical treatment on the scene, the cause or extent of the injury was not immediately available. The shooting was reported at 9:25 this morning at 834 Spruce Ave. No information on additional victims or the shooter was immediately available."
