Police investigate Tory Lanez as the 'potential trigger man' in Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident

The Los Angeles Police Department is officially looking into the allegation that Megan Thee Stallion suffered gunshot wounds after Tory Lanez allegedly shot at her twice. 

According to TMZ, detectives have opened an assault with a deadly weapon investigation into what allegedly happened early Sunday morning July 12, shortly before cops pulled over Tory's chauffeur-driven SUV in the Hollywood Hills.

This comes after it was earlier reported that Tory Lanez was the culprit who allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in the feet twice during an argument as she and her best friend Kelsey Nicole attempted to get out of his SUV following a fight at a house party in the Hollywood Hills. 

Recall, the Canadian rapper was arrested and booked for possession of a concealed weapon after Police found a handgun in his car as they pulled him over with Megan Thee Stallion and her best friend.  

Now that authorities are upgrading the investigation to assault with a deadly weapon, TMZ believes it could pave the way for new charges against Tory.  Sources connected to the Canadian rapper have said he would claim the shooting was accidental if he's charged for the shooting.
