""When I heard about the children murdered in Stockton, my heart broke," Burna Boy said in a statement through Lee. "After hearing the story on The Breakfast Club, I reached out to Wack 100 and connected with Jason Lee because no family should ever face this kind of pain alone. I wanted to do whatever I could to support these parents as they begin the long process of healing.""
"Initially 11 people were reported wounded, at least one critically. On Tuesday, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office upped that number to 13 after learning that two additional survivors had been grazed by bullets and gone to the hospital on their own, according to local NBC affiliate KCRA. The news hit Burna Boy like a gut punch. After hearing about the shooting on a radio show, the performer got in touch with Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee via music exec Wack 100, The Stockton Record reported Tuesday."
Burna Boy will pay funeral expenses for the four victims killed in a mass shooting at a toddler's birthday party in Stockton. Three victims were children aged 8, 9 and 14, and the fourth was 21. Initially 11 people were reported wounded, at least one critically; the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office later raised the count to 13 after two additional survivors who had been grazed by bullets sought hospital care. The shooting began inside a banquet hall and spilled into the street. Police described the attack as targeted and possibly linked to gang violence stemming from a beef between individuals. Investigators are seeking suspects and the FBI added a $50,000 reward to a $25,000 offer already available.
