As I understood it there were 3 bullets fired at him, but they went to pieces going through the car which meant 50 was left with 9 holes in him! Thesmokinggun.com doesn't have any fake reports, you can even read the police report surrounding Pac's murder!
Joe budden mentioned this, in one of his disses, and the police report is featured in the dvd about the real 50 cent. It clearly says "shot 3 times".
He's lied about alot of shit, going to jail etc. it's called promotion!
