Rapper Killer Mike speaks out after South Fulton barbershop damaged in shooting

There were no injuries Saturday night when someone shot up several businesses along Roosevelt Highway, including a barbershop owned by Atlanta rapper Killer Mike.

The artist and advocate said he was thankful only property was damaged as it can be replaced. In a Sunday morning Instagram post, he made a public plea to the men responsible.

“Please consider what would have happened if one of y’all actually hit one another,” the rapper said. “The jail, the lawyer fees, the funeral cost and two Black families’ loss.”

He went on to express his relief the shooters could “not hit the side of a barn” with a shotgun, because the next morning “y’all all are alive.”
