authorities and has officially been charged with attempted murder, assault and
criminal possession of a weapon.
Remy’s manager directed
all calls to her attorney as she wasn’t allowed to receive them herself.
“I ask everyone to
keep an open mind … Things are not always as they seem,” attorney Scott Leemon said.

[UPDATEx2] Victim, Barnes-Joseph finally speaks on the incident that occurred early Saturday morning.
“All I heard was the gun go off … I couldn’t believe she shot me!” says Barnes-Joseph from her hospital bed.
“What hurts me is that when she shot me she went over and dumped
the bag … She didn’t even say, ‘Oh, my God,
I just shot her,” she continued.
