Haitian Police Say Wyclef Jean Lied About Being Shot

Haiti– A Haitian police officer said that Wyclef Jean actually cut his hand on glass late Saturday, despite the singer’s report that his hand was shot while standing outside his car in Haiti.

Jean, who was pictured while receiving medical treatment for hand, told reporters that his hand was grazed by a bullet as he exited a car to make a phone call.

“The way I can explain it is that the bullet grazed me in my right hand.”

Haitian police believe the incident was far different from what Jean is telling the media. Police chief Vanel Lacroix of Petionville told Reuters, “We met with the doctor who saw him and he confirmed Wyclef was cut by glass.”

Jean says he does not know if the alleged gun shots were directed towards him, nor does he know who shot at him.
