Rapper Doe B. among 2 killed in Ala. shooting

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Police in Alabama are investigating the killings of rapper Doe B. and another person in a shooting early today that also wounded six others inside a bar and grill.

Police identified those killed as 21-year-old Kimberle Johnson and 22-year-old Glenn Thomas, both of Montgomery. They said Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. Thomas — an up-and-coming rapper known as Doe B — was taken to Baptist Medical Center South, where he was later pronounced dead.
