Snapper shot at Spears event

A bridal shower which Britney Spears is believed to have attended turned chaotic on Saturday night, when a photographer was shot in the leg with an air gun outside the venue.

It is unclear who fired the air gun as photographer Brad Diaz was staking out the event at a home in Malibu, California, according to sheriff's Lieutenant Steve Smith.

Smith says firefighters bandaged Diaz's leg before he was taken to a hospital.

The policeman explains: "It could've been somebody driving by, walking by, we have no idea where it came from."

Diaz was about 200 yards from the home when he was hit, according to Smith. He was one of about 10 photographers standing in the street.

Smith originally said the home belonged to Spears, but said deputies later learned that it belonged to someone else and that Spears is a frequent guest. He did not identify the owner.
