Grammy-winning rapper T.I.‘s 925 Scales restaurant has come forward with a statement on a publicized shooting around his facility involving ex-NBA player Glen Robinson Jr.

925 Scales issued a statement this week to address the situation.

“The events that happened near Scales 925 is severely disconcerting. Our staff noticed a heightened exchange between patrons and they were asked to leave. An altercation between the individuals of no affiliation with Scales 925 seemed to have led to an unfortunate escalation in a public area near our restaurant. We commend our team on the swift and professional handling of the incident and on ensuring that the safety and well being of our patrons and staff remain a priority. We were saddened to learn about Mr. Rice’s injury and wish him the absolute best with his personal injury and situation. The Scales 925 family condemns any act of violence and will always adhere to best practices to safeguard our patrons and staff. We encourage the public and media to continue to responsibly get any additional facts on this unfortunate incident from the authorities, as we plan to do the same.” (Statement)

Rice’s identity turned into public knowledge after the shooting went down.

Rice fled the scene in a Porsche, the vehicle that police pulled over to find the former Wizard bleeding from his leg. Once pulled over, they searched the Porsche and found over a half-pound of marijuana and few thousand dollars in cash in the car. He was arrested and charged with reckless conduct and possession of marijuana. (Fansided)

Details of the shooting bubbled online hours prior.

The report says that officers met with a restaurant employee upon responding to the scene, on Ivan Allen Boulevard. The employee said that a group of men who had been at the restaurant began quarreling and were asked to leave. The squabbling continued outside, and a shot rang out. The report does not indicate who is suspected of doing the shooting, which injured a man in the leg. A Smith and Wesson revolver was later recovered at the scene, and may be stolen, the police report said. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Earlier this month, cops had to restrain a woman after she exploded at Tip’s restaurant.

A woman showed up at around 2:30 pm and at first seemed like a normal customer at his Scales 925 ATL restaurant. She quickly flew off the handle and began pushing over plates. It’s unclear what upset the woman, but law enforcement tells us she seemed so irrational they took her to a hospital for mental evaluation. (TMZ)
