At 3:30 a.m. this morning, shots were fired at a party at Dreamz ATL, which was sponsored by Jermaine Dupri. Usher, Nelly and Sean "Diddy" Coombs were in attendance. A security guard was wounded.

"I'm sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. But I'm happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues," Dupri said in a statement.

"I didn't hear the shots, but around 3:30 a.m., everybody started ducking," a party guest reported. "Nobody really knew what happened. It was dark in the club. And everyone was trying to get out of the VIP area, but there were so many people no one could really move."

An announcement was made that the sound wasn't shots but a bottle popping or a speaker problem, "But people, including the celebs, were still trying to leave, so I don't think anyone believed them," he says. "I got outside, and the cops shut the club down. No one inside could leave and no one outside in the parking lot could leave either. One of my friends was stuck inside the club and people were scared that the shooter was still inside."

Yikes!
