Singer Wyclef Jean shot in Haiti

London: Singer Wyclef Jean was shot in Haiti while he was campaigning for a friend standing in its presidential election.

A bullet grazed Wyclef`s hand when he stepped out of a car to make a phone call in the capital Port-au-Prince Saturday. "I heard `blow, blow, blow` and I looked down at my right hand," a website quoted Haiti-born singer as saying. Jean says he had no idea who fired the shots or which direction they came from. He was rushed to a local hospital and was discharged after treatment. Jean was in his homeland to support the campaign by his musician pal Michel Martelly. IANS
