Shooting at Nickelodeon Awards After-Party

LOS ANGELES (April 1) - Shots were fired at a party attended mostly by teenagers early Sunday following the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, wounding three people, and police said they suspected gang members were involved.


The party in the western part of the city was thrown by someone who had attended the awards, but it was not an official Nickelodeon function and had no celebrity guests, police Lt. Roger Deranian said.

No arrests had been made by Sunday morning, police said.

The shooting occurred at about 12:30 a.m. at a drapery store rented for the party, which drew about 200 young people, Deranian said.

At least one person opened fire with an automatic weapon on the crowd after a group of five was denied entry, he said.

The three victims were hit below the waist and did not face life threatening injuries, he said. They were taken to a hospital.

The annual awards show for the children's television cable channel aired live Saturday and was hosted by Justin Timberlake .






Honestly, when did Nickelodeon become so hardcore? I thought that all violence on the channel was strictly slime related. When the Source Awards and Nickelodeon start having this much in common you know there is something seriously wrong with our country. When I was younger the scariest thing about Nickelodeon was Are You Afraid of the Dark?, a pretty awesome show might I add. Whats next? Is Raven Symone gonna be caught in a threesome with the twins from Big Daddy? Or is Jaime Lynn Spears gonna take after her sister and show up to next year's awards pantiless? Dear Lord, lets hope not. I think this is all the direct result of getting rid of Snick. I think an easy solution would be to bring back Clarrisa Explains It All and call it a night. I mean lets be honest, do you think Melissa Joan Hart has anything better to do? I didn't think so.
