Most important news article of the day: RODNEY KING GOT SHOT!

RIALTO, California (CNN) -- Rodney King, whose 1991 police beating sparked widespread rioting in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities, was recovering Thursday after being slightly wounded by gunfire.


Rodney King, slightly wounded in a shooting late Wednesday, is seen in a 2002 photograph.

Rialto, California, Police Department Sgt. Don Lewis said King was grazed on his face, arms, back and torso. The wounds were superficial. A shotgun was believed to have been the weapon used.

Lewis said that after King was shot Wednesday night, he rode his bicycle from San Bernardino to his home in Rialto, before calling police about 11:40 p.m.

Information on possible suspects or the hospital where King was treated were not immediately available.

Amateur video captured King's beating after Los Angeles police officers stopped him for speeding March 3, 1991. Police beat King repeatedly, delivering 56 baton blows and six kicks -- causing skull fractures, and brain and kidney damage.

What . . . .the story spends more time on the beating story than the shooting one. Where was he at the time of the shooting? Who are the suspects? What the heck happened?????

Seems to be a on-going matter here; one that Mr King and friends are not helping in:

Pick a search engine, anyone of them.
I am sure one could find out all about him and his life over the past few years.
And keep in mind, he had bills to pay out of that amount.

This is like those people who win the Lottery 2 or 3 times. It's like good luck (or bad luck) follows people. Of course, I believe in Karma, and subscribe to the theory that luck (good or bad) happens when participation and opportunity meet.

I would watch myself if I was him. Stay away from thunderstorms and gas leaks.
