    Rapper Julio Foolio shot dead in Florida, lawyer says

    Florida rapper Julio Foolio has been killed in a shooting in Tampa, his lawyer says.

    Police said four people were hit with gunfire in a hotel car park early on Sunday. One person died, whom they believed to be Foolio pending a medical examination.

    The 26-year-old victim, whose legal name was Charles Jones, was identified in a statement by a law firm that represented him.

    Foolio had been celebrating his birthday when the incident occurred, said the lawyer, Lewis Fusco.

    The musician was "reportedly ambushed" in the hotel car park, Mr Fusco said in a statement, quoted by a local affiliate of the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

    He had been forced to relocate after being asked by authorities to leave an Airbnb property when he and his guests exceeded occupancy limits.

    The rapper had been posting material to his Instagram account about the celebrations, writing that police had "shut us down".

    Two cars were hit in the shooting that took place at about 04:40 EDT (09:40 BST), police said. The three others who were injured were taken to hospital, where their condition was described as stable.

    Foolio has nearly a million monthly listeners on Spotify, where his top-played track is Voo Doo.

    As recently as April, he wrote in an Instagram post that recent months had been "tragic", citing "multiple attempts on my life".

    He is said to have been open about his gang affiliations, according to local media.

    Police have urged the public to provide any information that may help them with their investigation.

    Quick question....

    How do I put a link in a post, that takes you to a post from another thread?
    Hope that makes sense.

    I've been invited to Hamilton Races tomorrow.

    I've never been to a racecourse outside of work, any recommendations from anyone who's been there?

    Set your stake limit for each race at what you are prepared to lose. That way any win is a bonus.
    I hope you have a great day and come back in profit <ok>

    You don't have to bet on every race.
    Enjoy the sights, the sounds and the smells, and that's just the people. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The racing is not all its about, get down to the parade ring before the race where you can sometimes pick up a tip or 2 and also the winners enclosure after the race. My wife hates gambling and when I took her to the races she absolutely loved the experience, she enjoyed the food and drink a little too much but as an experience she loved it. A few quid on each race adds to the excitement, I never understand the groups that stand with a pint in hand waiting for the race to go off, you can do that in a pub at home, some racecourses are steeped in tradition and history, mind Ive never been to Hamilton so it could be crap :emoticon-0136-giggl
