Bun B Shoots An Armed Masked Man Trying To Rob His Home

For nearly 30 years, Bun B has rapped about the dangers of street life. UGK built a discography of cautionary tales about life in Port Arthur, Texas with songs such as “One Day” and “M*rder” telling it like it is, without compromise.

Life intersected with art yesterday. Reportedly, the 46-year-old born Bernard Freeman was in a shootout last night (April 23), while defending his home and property from a man attempting a robbery. According to TMZ, a masked man showed up at the door of Bun and his wife Queenie’s Texas home. Wearing a mask, the armed assailant demanded valuables. Bun’s wife reportedly offered the keys to her Audi car, in the family’s garage.

Overhearing the exchange, Bun is said to have come downstairs with a pistol. The rapper and professor confronted the thief as he was entering the car in the garage. The two men exchanged fire. The intruder left on foot, leaving behind his weapon.

TMZ reports that the robber eventually turned up at a Houston area hospital, seeking treatment for a gunshot injury to his shoulder. The suspect was treated and placed under arrest on two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary.
