Mychal Bell, one of six black teens in the Jena Six case, shot himself in the chest Monday night around 7:40 in Monroe, Louisiana, where he’s been staying with a foster family.
Police Sgt. Cassandra Wooten said Bell’s wound isn’t life-threatening and believes he was upset over media coverage of his arrest last week on a shoplifting charge.
Bell was arrested less than one month after he completed a sentence for his role in the beating of a fellow classmate, Justin Barker, at Jena High School in 2006. He was sentenced to 18 months for his part in the crime and also served a sentence for three previous unnamed crimes.

At first, I couldn’t get through Ciara’s version of the song, but then I just had to take a full listen. The track is produced by Bangladesh, who has worked with Ciara before (on her first album, Goodies, with the track “Hotline”) and is very similar to Lil’ Wayne’s “A Milli,” from his latest album, The Carter III.
