Two Stewards Shot At Kanye West Concert ...more Kanye West »

Two stewards were shot during a Kanye West gig at the Birmingham NEC last night (February 28).

The incident apparently took place when people who didn�t have tickets for the event were taken from the premises. Several shots were thought to be fired.

The incident happened shortly after 10pm and a man and a woman have already been arrested.

One steward is still in hospital in a serious but not life threatening condition while the other was discharged with much minor injuries.

The huge concert was the final night of Kanye�s Touch The Sky UK tour.

A police spokesman said: "This incident involved individuals who had been ejected from the venue for attempting to try to gain entrance to a pop concert without tickets.

"Firearms were discharged and two stewards were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening."

As the BBC reports, Detective Inspector Ian Grant said: "At this early stage the motive for the shooting remains unclear but there appears to have been some sort of dispute about gaining entry to the concert."
