UPDATED 3-20

Vanel Lacroix, police chief in Petionville where Jean is staying, said police had confirmed that he had suffered only a minor cut to his hand from glass in an apparent accident.

Wyclef Jean has been released from the hospital after being shot in the hand in his native Haiti.

The former Fugees member was treated for a gunshot wound to his hand, a spokesman for Jean tells The Associated Press.

The incident occurred after 11 p.m. Saturday in the city of Delmas, near Port-au-Prince, when armed gunmen reportedly opened fire on Jean’s vehicle. His fellow Fugees member Pras and brother Samuel confirmed the reports.

“Yes they shot Wyclef and he’s in the hospital and he’ll be fine. They just shot his hand,” tweeted Pras. “Everyone can relax Wyclef is fine… They can’t stop us not one bullet or a machine gun!!!!!!!”

The shooting comes on the eve of the presidential elections in Haiti. Jean is supporting fellow Haitian musician Michel Martelly.

  1. Wyclef is going to be fine ladies and gents.
    Meanwhile, tens of thousands of your fellow country men and women use the worlds WORST TOILETS EVERY DAY, AND YOU ALL SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THAT!!!!!! Farm animals have better conditions, but instead- all of these words are typed, some with vitriol and passion over a minor palm injury…

  2. Anything to draw attention away from the Election process… typical Wyclef

  3. Let us observe the car in which he was riding.

    I bet the attention seeking man shot himself in order to sell records.

    Let us see the car with bullet holes, otherwise there is no truth here – just another myth

    Show me the car.

  4. Vanel Lacroix, police chief in Petionville where Jean is staying, said police had confirmed that he had suffered only a minor cut to his hand from glass in an apparent accident.

  5. This is a disgrace… Haiti does NOT need these ignorant fools who think they are above all because of their fame as musicians. In a country of law, all whoever puts the words out there that this man (Wyclef) was shot would have been charged for false statement to the police. Haiti deseves better but will not get out of its misery until the young Haitians get educated and stop falling for these pranksters. I am sure that our heros of the past are turning in their graves.
