Superstar rapper Cam’ron was shot three times in Washington, DC this morning (Oct. 23) sources have revealed to AllHipHop.com.
The Harlem, New York native was leaving club H20 en-route to Love (formerly Dream) when three unknown gunmen approached the rapper.
While details are sketchy, eyewitnesses said the men were seeking the rapper’s pricey Lamborghini, which he was driving while in town for a performance over the weekend.
“They were after that car,” an eyewitness told AllHipHop.com. “Cam refused to give it up and attempted to drive away and they shot up the car.”
Cam’ron was struck three times and while officials have not released his actual status, sources said at least one bullet struck the rapper in the arm.
His injures are allegedly not life threatening and the rapper was treated at Howard University Hospital.
“Juelz, Jim [Jones] and other Dip-Set members are with him at the hospital right now,” the source said.
Cam’ron, CEO of Diplomat Records, has been driving the blue Lamborghini since at least June of 2005.
"I bought the Lamborghini especially for New York," Cam'ron told a 106 & Park audience prior to being arrested. “Because we figure that we can only see stuff like this in Miami, but I am bringing it to the streets of New York."
In July, police in Harlem stopped the rapper and arrested him while driving the Italian sports car for driving with a suspended license.
Officials at Howard University Hospital declined comment and police did not comment at press time.

Cam'ron is recuperating after being shot early Sunday morning in what appears to be a failed carjacking attempt, according to the rapper's representatives.
A spokesperson and a source within the the MC's Diplomats camp have confirmed Cam'ron
was shot around 2:10 a.m. Sunday morning (October 23) in Washington, D.C. However, police have refused to release any details or even confirm the shooting as of press time.
Cam'ron was driving away from the popular D.C. nightclub H2O in his blue Lamborghini when an unknown number of men tried to carjack him, according to the rapper's camp. They pulled up in their own vehicle and demanded Cam turn over his car.
When Cam'ron did not cooperate, they fired multiple shots inside the car, shattering glass and hitting Cam'ron once in each arm, according to his rep. The leader of the Diplomats was taken to a nearby hospital and is said to be resting and doing fine.
Cam'ron has generally avoided keeping a team of security guards around him. He can often be spotted in New York by himself or with a few friends, cruising in one of his vehicles, shopping or signing autographs.
King of New York ;)
The rapper was in D.C. participating in the festivities surrounding Howard University's homecoming this weekend. He's promoting his new movie and album, both called "Killa Season" and due in February.

Cam: 'It Takes More Than A Botched Carjacking To Keep Me Down'
By Nolan Strong
Date: 10/24/2005 1:00 pm
Cam’ron returned from New York and is recuperating after suffering bullet wounds to both arms during a botched car-jacking attempt in Washington, D.C. Sunday morning (Oct. 23).
The Harlem, New York rapper, was shot as he was leaving Washington, D.C. nightclub H20 while in town with his Diplomats crew to celebrate Howard University’s homecoming.
The rapper and his security detail became separated and when the rapper was stopped at New York and New Jersey Avenues, two men in a burgundy Ford Expedition pulled alongside his blue Lamborghini.
The men attempted to car-jack him and when the rapper refused, the gunmen open fire. A bullet struck Cam in one arm and lodged in the other.
He drove himself to Howard University Hospital and spent 12 hours recuperating. Cam then caught a flight from D.C. back to his hometown of New York.
"People are foolish if they think I'm going to lose my head and give up anything to anyone just because someone threatens me," Cam'ron said. "I'm doing OK. It takes more than a botched carjacking to keep me down."
The rapper and his Dip-Set affiliates were in town promoting his upcoming album and movie, Killa Season, both slated for a Feb. release.
Killa Season is the first album released through a $2.5 million dollar deal between Cam’s Diplomat Records and Warner Music Group’s label, Asylum.
