Rapper Beanie Sigel Out Of Hospital Following Shooting

PLEASANTVILLE, N.J. (AP) — Nearly a month after he was shot outside his brother-in-law's southern New Jersey home, rapper Beanie Sigel has been released from a hospital.

Pleasantville police say the 40-year-old musician, whose real name is Dwight Grant, left the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City last weekend.

Sigel was shot in the abdomen Dec. 5 at the Pleasantville home, where he had been staying after being released from a federal prison for tax evasion. The shooting occurred shortly after Sigel had dropped his children off at school.

Authorities say Sigel gave investigators a statement about the shooting before he left the hospital, but further details were not disclosed.

No arrests have been made.
