A gang shooting apparently broke out on Friday while the cast and crew of 'House of Lies' were in the middle of filming.
TMZ reports that the show's crew, including actors Don Cheadle, Kristen Bell and T.I., were filming in the Nickerson Gardens housing project in Watts for a scene in an upcoming season. The shoot drew a large crowd, which included a few members of some rival gangs. After the cast was finished filming a scene, and argument broke out and shots were fired. Nobody was injured and the gang members dispersed before cops arrived.
Cheadle and Bell immediately took to Twitter to make light of it all:
