This horrible across the board.

A 33-year-old man was shot and killed at an amateur music video shoot in the Olney section of Philadelphia around 7 p.m. last night. Police say that a gunman opened fire into the crowd of about 100 people, striking the man once in the head. He was then accidentally run over as a driver tried to flee the scene.

The man was pronounced dead later at the hospital, and police say the driver won't be charged. Three men with weapons were taken into custody, one of whom they believe to be the shooter based on a review of the video footage.

Also, while other outlets are quick to point out that this happened at a "rap" video shoot as opposed to a "music" video shoot, Complex will never stoop to that level of fear-mongering. The cause for the shooting is still unknown, but it wasn't "rap music."
