| Quote: | Lamar Odom Safe After Being Caught Up in Shooting at a N.Y.C. Hooters
Lamar Odom is safe after gunshots were fired while the former NBA star was dining at Hooters.
An NYPD public information officer confirmed to PEOPLE on Tuesday that members of Odom’s entourage were involved in a verbal dispute at a Hooters restaurant in Queens, New York, in the early morning of July 19.
As Odom, 38, was eating at one of the outdoor tables, shots were fired by members of another group before the other group fled the scene, the PIO officer confirms. No clear description is available of the other group members.
He was not the intended target or involved in the dispute, but was present on scene, the PIO officer says. The investigation is underway. TMZ first reported the news.
In a statement shared on his Instagram Tuesday afternoon, Odom said, “I want to let my fans know that I am OK. Thanks for your messages I will try to respond to as many fans I can.”
“Just to share the ‘truth’ here with you all. I was near the scene when it just happened and not involved in any way! Thanks, Lamar Odom,” he wrote.
The incident came days after Odom announced that he is leaving the U.S. and moving to China.
The athlete and ex-husband of Khloé Kardashian announced in a since-deleted Instagram post that he has “decided to move to Shenzhen, China” — a decision he feels “so happy” about.
“Happy & Proud to announce that I have signed a global management contract with my new @ninetyplusofficial family and decided to move to Shenzhen, China,” he began the now-removed post, captured by The Shade Room.
He continued, “This month, I have spend a few weeks in Shenzhen (China) signing new deals and I feel so overwhelmed and blessed with my new Chinese business partners and management @mr2rchiang @iamzoul.”
“It’s a huge step for me and I feel so happy to be writing new episodes of my life in another country that’s so HUGE in basketball. I am grateful to have you all as my supporting fans through my ups and downs,” said Odom. “I have so much love for you all and I will be sharing some exciting stuff about my new journey with you here. Much love and respect,” Odom added with a red heart, praying hands and China flag emoji. |

 LO's moving to China? Good for him. Too many people in LA and NY ready to lead him astray again. China has some pretty strict anti-drug laws from what I hear.

This is the wrong forum to post this. This is for Lakers talk. Lamar is a Dallas Mavericks.

Yes. Public executions and all. Their legal system is also less transparent so you definitely don’t want even a hint if anything around drug trafficking. |

Hooters is considered a family friendly restaurant in some places. |

Yup! Like this place r/trashy and r/incel (which sadly has been removed by the Reddit Moderators.) |

Quite honestly, I've run dry on emapthy for this man. I wish him well but have absolutely zero cares left to offer.
Happy China trip and looking forward to the CMB updates. |

Probably following in the footsteps of great ambassador Rodman.

^^thats what i think about LO's life outside of basketball. most of it is no fault of his own. just rain cloud after rain cloud after rain cloud...... eventually you will break down and do something stupid to put another rain cloud over your head because you're so used to it. |

Verbal dispute, and no one giving a clear description of other group.
I suggest Lamar go to China, for a while. |
