Rodney King that was badly beaten in 1991 by Los Angeles police, which caused the LA riot of 1992, has been shot, TMZ is reporting.
He was shot and wounded on a San Bernardino street corner late Wednesday.
King called Rialto police just before midnight to report the shooting. According to Sgt. Don Lewis, King was struck in the face and arm — with what appeared to be pellets or birdshot. When police arrived at King’s home, they reported that King and others inside appeared drunk. The man got shot in the face.
King was taken to a local hospital, and his wounds were not believed to be life-threatening.
