News Waka Flocka Flame involved in Walter's gunfire incident
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 11:24 PM
Atlanta Police say local rapper Waka Flocka Flame and his entourage were involved in a late Thursday afternoon altercation at a downtown Atlanta clothing store that ended with a gunshot — but no injuries.
Officer James Polite says a group of men including Flocka — whose real name is Juaquin Malphurs — entered Walter's Clothing on Decatur Street around 4:15 p.m. to shop.
Another group of men entered the store, approached the rapper's group, and a physical altercation took place, Polite says. During the tussle, a man from that group brandished a gun. Flocka's private security guard then pulled out a gun and fired a shot, which did not hit anyone.
Polite says Flocka's private security guard has been detained and is being questioned by police.
In January, Flocka was shot in the arm at a carwash near Old National Highway. It's unclear whether the suspect in that shooting, who fled the scene, was ever apprehended.

I can see where you're coming from, Savage, but sorry. That's the name he's known by. If Barry Manilow — real name Barry Pincus — was involved in an altercation at Walter's clothing, I wouldn't say "Pincus' security guard brandished a weapon." Although I would love to write that story.
It would make more sense to use his last name, Malphurs. But whatever.
Aw cmon guys, I wanna hear DaleC's excuses for the nutter with the semiautomatics at the Pentagon and you're covering up my provocation with this BS.
Why does every local rapper have to have a private security guard? Is Woka Floppa (or whatever) that well-known?
