Snapper shot outside Britney pal's pad

A photographer was shot in the leg with a pellet gun outside a home where he believed Britney Spears was attending a bridal shower yesterday evening, authorities said.

It was unclear who fired the plastic pellet as the photographer was staking out the event at the Malibu home, Sheriff's Department Lt. Steve Smith said. He said firefighters bandaged the man's leg and he went to a hospital.
