ATLANTA - Federal investigators now say Atlanta rapper Offset was targeted by a "large group" during an attempted robbery outside the Seminole Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, Florida, last week.
What we know:
The FBI says a single gunshot struck him in the leg as suspects tried to take his watch, according to The Associated Press. He was hospitalized for several days and later returned to the stage for a performance during a music festival at the University of Arkansas. The potential suspects left the scene in two Chevrolet SUVs — a black Suburban headed toward Hollywood and a Tahoe traveling south toward Miami.

Authorities have not identified the suspects or announced any arrests directly tied to the shooting.
