Rapper facing charges in T.I. concert shooting

A rapper who police say was seen on surveillance footage firing a gun inside a crowded New York City concert venue is facing attempted murder and weapons charges.

Police say they arrested 30-year-old Roland Collins on Thursday, a day after the deadly shooting at Irving Plaza, where hip-hop artist T.I. was set to perform.

Family members say the man who died, 33-year-old Ronald McPhatter, was a member of Collins’ entourage and had been there to provide security. Police say Collins suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.

There were nearly 1,000 people in the venue when the shooting began late Wednesday night.
