Well here’s news we never wish to report. Two people have been reportedly shot and wounded outside the venue where J Cole’s "First Hills Drive" tour was performing at on Monday night in New Jersey.

According to reports, the incident happened while the Cole’s concert was going on, just after 11 pm. The police say the two wounded were treated by paramedics and then taken away by a helicopter. An eye witness told authorities that the shooting happened “over an argument” in the parking lot.

While another eye witness says the two victims were speaking to a woman in the parking lot, and "talking about her body." Out of nowhere, a man approached them and fired about seven shots, he said. "He took those two dudes out right away. It looked like he knew what he was doing." The second eye witness told police.

A suspect has not been named, and police are searching a wooded area near the arena for the shooter.

Cole’s "Forest Hills Drive" Tour, which also features Big Sean & YG, is schedule to roll into NYC on Tuesday night for its next stop at Madison Square Garden. We’ll keep you posted if more on this story unfolds.
