At least 10 mourners were injured Monday night when a Los Angeles vigil for rapper Nipsey Hussle ended in a stampede.
Hussle was shot and killed Sunday afternoon in front of his store, Marathon Clothing. Hundreds of people were gathered there Monday when suddenly, things became chaotic, and people began running in all directions, the Los Angeles Times reports. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said no shots were fired, and it's not clear what triggered the stampede.
