Boosie Badazz‘s concert in Akron, Ohio was halted mid-show early Monday morning after gunshots rang out, leaving the Louisiana-born rapper fleeing for his life … and 3 people injured.

Akron PD Deputy Chief Michael Miller tells TMZ Hip Hop … At least one shot was fired while Boosie was performing onstage.

Boosie’s actions appear to confirm the narrow miss in video … you can hear the sounds, then see him flinch, duck, and run for cover as the fans inside the Field House Lounge scatter for safety.

The male shooting suspect fled the scene on foot. The venue has apologized for the violence.

While the motive remains unknown, cops don’t think Boosie was the target.

The gunman appeared to have gotten into some type of altercation with another person in the crowd, and fired at least 2 shots, from what cops believe is a semiautomatic.

A pair of shell casings were also recovered at the scene and police are investigating for any potential surveillance video that will lead to a break in the case.

A 37-year-old surfer was tragically killed in a shark attack in Australia this week, authorities announced Tuesday.

The Western Australia Police Force said the incident occurred at around 12:10 PM on Monday at Wharton Beach.

Officials said they recovered the man’s surfboard in the immediate aftermath of the encounter — and it had bite marks on it. The surfer’s body, though, has still not yet been recovered.

Wendy Williams is spilling details on the police escort and her hospital trip that ended with her acing two psych exams Monday — and she even dished on the unexpected perk of getting some exercise while going scooter-free.

On “The Breakfast Club,” Wendy was joined by her caregiver, Ginalisa Monterroso, who said she requested police to show up at the former talk show host’s assisted-living facility, where she explained her situation and insisted they couldn’t leave without her.

Ginalisa said she pushed Wendy to request an independent medical evaluation while at the hospital, explaining it was a long and tough road … especially since her living facility had initially sent a nurse to keep an eye on her, which Ginalisa refused.

That’s when you see Wendy in TMZ’s clip from Monday morning, leaving her NYC facility with a police escort in our footage — where she admits by ditching her mobility device, her feet got some much-needed exercise.

Once at Lenox Hill Hospital, docs noted a difference in opinion between Wendy’s lawyer and her guardian. But, after some back-and-forth, they got the green light for two evaluation tests, which Wendy passed with flying colors.

WW said most of the questions were pretty simple, like asking who the U.S. president is and when her birthday was … Ginalisa confirmed the medical exam results can be used in court to prove her cognitive functions are intact, in order to end her guardianship.

TMZ broke the story that Wendy wants famed lawyer Joe Tacopina to take on her case, and he’s seriously considering it.
