Story On How Lil Wayne Was Saved By An Off Duty Cop At Age 12

Lil Wayne never would have made it had it not been for big Robert Hoobler. The celebrated New Orleans rapper would have bled to death on the floor of his mother’s Hollygrove apartment the afternoon of Nov. 11, 1994, at just 12 years old, after accidentally shooting himself in the chest while playing with a 9 mm handgun.

Little Dwayne picked up the gun and began horsing around with it in front of a stereo blaring music. At about 1:15 p.m., the boy accidentally fired a bullet through his chest. The slug then shot out the lower left corner of a window. Somehow, it missed every vital organ. But the boy was dying.
