MOUNT VERNON, NY – A memorial for DMX, who died recently in a White Plains Hospital, was held at the 4th Street playground in Mt. Vernon and was supposed to be peaceful.

However, gunfire in two separate places rang out and disrupted the crowd, striking the attendees.

After getting shot, one victim found safety and shelter in a cable news vehicle.

Later the two cable news employees were not allowed to get back into the vehicle because it is now considered a crime scene.

Information on the second shooting is not available, as the Mount Vernon police investigate.

There is no word on why the shootings started, nor how either victim is doing.

Despite growing up in Yonkers, Money Earning Mt. Vernon hosted Wednesday night’s vigil because they also claim the multi-platinum artist as their son, since DMX, real name Earl Simmons, was born in the Westchester County city.

The vigil included prayers, released balloons, and a block party.

There are not any updates from Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard on the two victims, that shot in two completely separate incidents.

But sources say the shooting victims are expected to survive.
