Tory Lanez Charged With Felony Assault In Megan Thee Stallion Shooting

Tory Lanez has been charged in connection with the shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion, just weeks after the singer released an album claiming his innocence.

The L.A. County D.A.'s Office hit him with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm, and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

The prosecutors had said they were mulling over a charge of felony assault with a firearm against Tory after Megan said she was shot back in July. Tory had been arrested but only charged with possession of a firearm. But, prosecutors are now explicitly pointing the finger at Tory as the man who pulled the trigger, leaving Meg with a gruesome foot injury.

His arraignment is scheduled for October 13. If convicted, Tory could face a maximum sentence of 22 years and 8 months in jail.
