NEW YORK, Apr 12, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A New York waiter has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against two executives from the hip-hop magazine The Source for starting a 2005 gun battle.
Source President Leroy Peeples and Marketing Director Alvin Childs are accused in the suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court of setting off the wild shootout that left three people injured, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
"I still don't have full use of my hand and arm almost a year after being shot," Gregory Palmer, who filed the suit, told the newspaper.
Peeples and Childs were arguing with rapper Orlando Orenga outside the Limerick House when gunfire broke out.
Attempted murder charges were filed against the two executives for the July 23, 2005, shootings and were dropped last month.
