Police are investigating a drive-by shooting involving people waiting in line for a video game.

Dozens of people camped out in front the Best Buy store on Nicholasville Road. They're hoping to get their hands on a Sony PlayStation 3 console. But the wait turned serious when someone drove by and fired shots at people waiting in line.

Four people were hit by the BB pellets, including 27 NEWSFIRST reporter Elizabeth Dorsett. She was interviewing someone in line at the time. None of them were seriously hurt.

Police came to the store to investigate. They're still looking for a suspect.
Lexington Police say they'll stay at the Best Buy to make sure people in line stay safe.

The PlayStation 3 goes on sale Friday morning at eight. The consoles are selling for more than $600 a piece.

Playstation should be shot for charging 600 bucks for a gaming console.

Yeah, I was actually considering standing in line for three days myself for that very reason. I'm not even that into video games, but the thought of making a possible $1,400 profit in only 3 days, is pretty damn appealing to me. Those people waiting in line really aren't as stupid as they seem.

Anyway, that's messed up that someone would be shooting at them. Hopefully those idiots get caught!!

Wish I had one to sell them for $5,550! That would make a good start to my daughter's college fund.

People get ridiculous when these things come out. I always pre-order what I want and if it's not available for pre-order, I wait until the rush is over.
