The Los Angeles Fire Department took the two shooting victims to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police say two other people were shot and took themselves to a local hospital.

NBC News reports Kodak Black, whose name is Bill Kapri and who is from Pompano Beach, was among the four people shot. Nice Guy Owner John Terizan told NBC that Justin Bieber was hosting an after-party inside the Italian restaurant on the night of the shooting.
