Panthers quarterback Cam Newton’s no stranger to near-misses lately.
But after suffering two broken bones in his back in a car wreck in downtown Charlotte late last season, he was close to another potential tragedy over the weekend.
According to WSOC in Charlotte, Newton was on stage in a downtown nightclub moments before shots were fired Saturday night.
Newton was at the nightclub Label (and was photographed with Young Jeezy) moments before gunfire rang out during a party which coincided with the CIAA basketball tournament.
Newton was on stage during the private party, but quickly ducked for cover when the shots inside the club were heard.
Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting, and no arrests have been made.
