A Malibu Sheriff spokesman initially claimed that the photographer shot covering a Britney Spears party received only a scratch and needed the smallest band-aid that the fire dept had. Brad Diaz, the photographer who was shot with a pellet gun is in a little worse shape then initially claimed. It seems that the hospital was afraid they could do more damage by removing the pellet from his leg. The Emergency room doctor’s decided that the safest course would be to leave the pellet in his leg.
The Sheriff further said that they do not investigate such small insignificant incidents as someone being shot with a pellet gun. In other words it was a non-crime. I bet that if a celebrity was mysteriously shot by a pellet gun and there were a number of Paparazzi around, the photographer’s would have each been questioned quite thoroughly. In the expensive community of Malibu where the celebrity “rules” justice and protection is very one sided.
Well, 2 days after the incident when the trail is gone a little cooler, the Malibu Sheriff spokesman issued a statement that because all the media inquiries and concerns on the Brad Diaz shooting that they will assign an officer to investigate.
The Malibu Sheriff Dept. has a callous attitude toward the Paparazzi. But, like them or not, the Paparazzi are still citizens of Los Angeles and still deserve protection like any other citizen and celebrity, So, hopefully the Sheriff dept will in fact really investigate and find the insane person who did this stupid thing.
An interesting side note, as of Monday, because of all the press inquiries and interest from around the world the Malibu Sheriff dept was not commenting on the shooting.
