longtime friend of Eminem who was fatally shot during a shootout
Tuesday at a Detroit club -- fired the first bullet, police
stated Wednesday.  The victim, Keith Bender, 35, was shot in the
head at 3C, a bar located on the city's famed Eight Mile strip.
Police were called to the scene around 5 a.m. after reports of
gunfire and fighting at the venue, which was operating illegally
after-hours.  According to police spokesman Sgt. Omar Feliciano,
detectives are currently trying to determine who in turn shot
Proof, who was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was
pronounced dead.   He released his solo debut, Searching for
Jerry Garcia, last summer on his independent label Iron Fist

shortly before the release. "I'm very nervous because of the
perception of the group we run with -- there's a lot of
pressure."
