Chris Brown is being sued by a man who was shot at a party that the singer hosted in January. Paul Briley was one of five people struck at the Fiesta Nightclub in San Jose, Calif. during the โChris Brown Capricorn Bash,โ and filed suit against Breezy, and the venue, for โnegligence and carelessness.โ
Briley, 22, argues that the club should have had proper security measures in place, such as metal detectors, and searching โbags and/or guns,โ due to similar incidents at events hosted by Brown.
โThis shooting should never have happened,โ Brileyโs attorney, Richard Alexander, said in a statement. โBrownโs managers and the concert promoters know that violence follows in Brown’s wake.โ
None of the shooting victims sustained life-threatening injuries, however, Briley suffered โpermanent injuryโ to his foot, the suit claims. He’s suing for loss of income, and medical expenses. The suit also requests damages for โpast, present, and future physical, mental and emotional pain and suffering, including fright, shock, terror, and post-traumatic stress of being shot.โ
