Argument over Aretha Franklin reportedly leads to Virginia shooting

An argument over whether Halle Berry played Aretha Franklin in a movie reportedly led to a person being shot in Virginia.

The Suffolk Police Department is investigating the shooting which occurred around 10:43 a.m. at the intersection of East Washington Street and Liberty Street on Thursday, Aug. 16.

Witnesses told WTKR in Norfolk that the shooting was between two people who were arguing whether the Academy Award-winning actress ever played the Detroit icon in a movie. Police have not confirmed or denied that detail.

Franklin, The Queen of Soul, died in Detroit at the age of 76 on Thursday.

According to the Suffolk Police Department, the verbal altercation between two adult males turned physical. One of the subjects produced a firearm, shooting the other involved subject at least once.

Both subjects received emergency medical assessment and treatment by Suffolk Fire & Rescue personnel before being transported to local hospitals for further treatment.

The gunshot victim is in serious condition, police said. The investigation is ongoing.

Just in case you were wondering, Aretha Franklin said in a 2011 interview that she would want Halle Berry to play her in a biopic.
