The rap mogul was reportedly seriously injured and rushed to the hospital, where he is said to be recovering in ICU. Knight and two others were reportedly the victims of shots said to be aimed at Brown. One unnamed victim is said to be in critical condition.
Gun shots rang out at a pre-Video Music Awards party reportedly hosted by Chris Brown and singer Pia Mia in West Hollywood in the early morning hours on Sunday.
While the 25-year-old R&B singer is said to have been the intended target of shots fired at 1OAK around 1:30 a.m., it was music producer Marion (Suge) Knight who took the heat along with two other victims, one is said to be in critical condition, reports TMZ.
"Literally can't believe what I just witnessed," one attendee, Katie Clendon, tweeted after she was seemingly inside the club. "Someone tried to fire shots at Chris Brown at 1oak. Speechless."
Others thought Brown and fellow celeb attendee Justin Beiber were the targets.
"Me and @MOANNN sort refuge in a toilet cubicle as rifles targeted Chris brown & bieber outside. #usa," Chloe Lloyd, Australia's "Next Top Model" finalist tweeted, adding, "Yeh mate you can't drink when you're 21 but own a gun and do drugs at 18 please. #usapolitics #joke."
The 49-year-old Death Row Records founder was reportedly taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital after being shot six times. The latest reports state Knight is in ICU, but is expected to recover after undergoing emergency surgery.
Earlier reports indicated Knight was shot twice, in the stomach and arm, a source told the gossip site.
"Prayers to all those who were harmed by this," Clendon later tweeted. "Honestly still in disbelief this happened."
Among the star-studded attendees was model Tyson Beckford, actor Robert Ri'chard, and Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.ap, who all told TMZ they heard four shots fired inside the swanky hot spot. Rapper The Game was also said to be one of the celeb guests partying prior to MTVs big awards show taking place in Los Angeles Sunday night.
The Game is said to have tried to get into the party about an hour-and-a-half before the shooting and was reportedly denied entry after having an altercation with security guards that turned into a full-on fight.
While the rapper born, Jayceon Terrell Taylor, supposedly left, his friends were said to have stayed behind. There is no evidence that the Game's earlier reported altercation at the nightclub had anything to do with the shots that rang out shortly after.
In fact, images that surfaced appear to show Game partying at Brown's fiesta, which contradict reports he was unable to gain entry.
Knight reportedly walked out of the club on his own accord and sat in a police car prior to being put in an ambulance and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
A suspected gunman was apprehended by police after they searched the club and questioned partygoers, reports the Daily Mail.
On high alert after the shooting, cops reportedly stood with guns drawn as the other clubgoers exited 1OAK.
"It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes," Brown tweeted early Sunday morning. "Miss me with the bulls--t!!!"
A rep for Chris Brown has yet to respond to the Daily News' request for comment.
