Photographer Shot While Staking Out Spears Event

A bridal shower which Britney Spears is believed to have attended turned chaotic on Saturday night, when a photographer was shot in the leg with a BB gun outside the venue. It is unclear who fired the BB as photographer Brad Diaz was staking out the event at a home in Malibu, California, according to sheriff's Lieutenant Steve Smith. Smith says firefighters bandaged Diaz's leg before he was taken to a hospital. The policeman explains, "It could've been somebody driving by, walking by, we have no idea where it came from." Diaz was about 200 yards from the home when he was hit, according to Smith. He was one of about 10 photographers standing in the street. Smith originally said the home belonged to Spears, but said deputies later learned that it belonged to someone else and that Spears is a frequent guest. He did not identify the owner.

Annnd, while it would never justify anyone shooting him, the idiot photographer probably had no business being there to begin...as is the case with most photographers and Britney Spears.

God...paparazzi. If I ever decide I want to become a journalist, I just hope I don't become one of those type of journalists.
