Justin Bieber, the 15 year old pop sensation from Canada, has died following a gunshot wound sustained during a late night altercation in west Manhattan.
Detectives say Bieber and his alleged girlfriend Selena Gomez attempted to enter a New York City nightclub with fake IDs but were recognized by several patrons. Witnesses claim Bieber was belligerent and threatened to shoot one of the bouncers. Justin subsequently reached into his coat pocket and withdrew what the NYPD has claimed to be a small . 25 caliber pistol. James Rodriguez, an on duty police officer at the scene, responded by shooting Bieber once in the head. It was later determined that Beiber's handgun was errantly loaded with .22 caliber ammunition.
Paramedics arrived on scene shortly after the shooting but were unable to resuscitate Bieber, who was pronounced dead shortly before 11pm EST. The area surrounding Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Manhattan's West 51st street has been closed off and witnesses are being questioned as the investigation into this tragic event continues. No statement has been released by Bieber's family or publicist, and no one else was injured during the altercation. Although toxicology reports have not yet been issued, several tablets of the prescription drug Dilauded were found on Gomez' person and it is speculated that both her and Bieber were intoxicated.
Teen superstar Justin Beiber has sensationally admitted he is gay. The 15-year-old singer, adored by thousands of girls, revealed everything to Oprah Winfrey. The episode is yet to be told when it will air. Justin, who has had a hit with One Less Lonely Girl and is good friends with rap star Usher, said I am gay. Its just one of those things you need to say. I mean, I have the fans and they need to know the truth if they are going to believe in my dream, which is too sing. Oprah said How does it feel admitting such a thing? It can take people years to admit something so difficult, he replied When you believe in honesty and value the trust of people, especially your family and fans, then you need to say these things. I just hope people will accept me and this doesnt affect my career. Im on a high and I dont want my life to stop. Its getting fantastic!
