“I’m incredibly grateful to be alive and that I’m expected to make a full recovery.”
Los Angeles police had no immediate comment on the incident in the Hollywood Hills early on Sunday. But Officer Jeff Lee confirmed that rapper Tory Lanez, who was with Pete that evening, was arrested on a concealed weapons charge.
Lee said the Instagram post has been pointed out to the detectives in the case, who are looking into it. Lanez was released after posting bail later on Sunday, Los Angeles County jail records showed.
Messages left with representatives for the two rappers seeking more details were not immediately returned.

We have to stop killing or trying to kill our treasures. This mess needs to stop we a not going to have anybody left. Nothing can stop black men from getting killed. Money/ broke just being black male-female or child. Nothing keeps you safe not even in your own bedroom bullet fly.
