Sticky Fingaz explains how he accidentally shot his friend

Sticky Fingaz has released a statement explaining how he accidentally shot his friend and fellow rapper Luce Cannon, leaving him with a shattered shin bone.

Last week, the rapper/actor said he was displaying his baby Desert Eagle weapon to Luce when the gun accidentally fired, lodging a bullet into Luce’s leg. The injured MC underwent emergency surgery, but the cap is still lodged in his leg.

Sticky revealed that he is still on good terms with Luce, who at press time is seeking a second medical opinion on his recovery, reports Allhiphop.com.

“This incident was unfortunate, but could have been much worse,” Sticky said. “I’m just happy Luce is recovering and in good condition.”

The Queens rapper said he will use publicity from the incident to work with a non-profit gun safety organization, and film a PSA cautioning others on the importance of firearm safety.
