UPDATE (5/26): NYPD Commissioner William Bratton appeared on WCBS 880 radio on Thursday morning, where he targeted “so-called rap artists” for last night’s incident.

“The crazy world of these so-called rap artists who are basically thugs that basically celebrate violence they did all their lives, and unfortunately that violence often times manifests itself during their performances, and that’s exactly what happened last evening. We should be able to wrap it up quickly.”

UPDATE (5/26): TMZ has obtained footage of the shooting inside the green room at Irving Plaza.
