Police in Madison, Wisconsin are seeking to question Milwaukee rapper Coo Coo Cal after a shooting over the weekend left a man wounded. Authorities said the victim is recovering and revealing details of the shooting, which was apparently sparked by a dispute over a dice game. After a performance at a local club area club, police believe Coo Coo Cal and his entourage went to another nightspot and was involved in a high-stakes gambling game known as craps. Witnesses at the scene said the victim may have grabbed for a pile of cash too early, resulting in the melee. The shooting occurred just when the owner of the establishment was attempting to remove restrictions on his license due to past issues. "It makes absolutely no sense to remove those restrictions,” Captain Luis Yudice told Wisctv News 3. “As a matter of fact, we’re going to recommend that those restrictions remain in place and we’re going to analyze their security plan, and we may ask for additional measures (to) be created as well.” Employees of the establishment said that patrons were checked for weapons, but the performers that evening were not. Coo Coo Cal topped the rap charts in 2001 with his single “My Projects,” a dedication to his hometown of Westlawn taken from his major label debut Disturbed.
