London
(ANI):
A
quick
coffee
stop
turned
horrifying
for
singer
Leona
Lewis
when
she
was
caught
in
a
gangland
gun
drama
in
Los
Angeles.
The
X-factor
winner
was
still
in
the
car
when
a
red
Chevrolet
pulled
up
in
front
and
two
men
jumped
out,
one
brandishing
a
gun
in
her
direction.
Then
a
pursuing
police
car
screeched
in.
The
armed
officers
screamed
for
everyone
to
drop
to
the
ground
while
they
chased
two
men,
believed
to
be
local
gangsters.
However,
they
were
arrested
and
dragged
back
to
the
police
car.
“She
definitely
had
a
narrow
escape," the
Daily
Star
quoted
a
friend
as
saying.
“She
couldn"t
believe
what
was
happening
right
in
front
of
her
eyes.
There
was
a
minder
with
her
in
the
car
but
she
was
concerned
about
her
friend,
who"d
gone
to
get
the
coffee
and
had
just
come
out
of
the
shop
when
the
cops
arrived.
It
was
terrifying.
Even
though
she"s
been
in
LA
for
a
while,
she"d
never
experienced
anything
with
guns
before,"
the
friend
added.
