USC Commit Aaliyah Gayles Shot Four Times At House Party

Aaliyah Gayles, who has committed to play basketball at USC, was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend at a house party in Las Vegas.

The 18-year-old Gayles, who was one of four people shot after a fight broke out at the party, had two emergency surgeries on Sunday.

“Aaliyah is one of the strongest, most resilient young people I have ever known,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “I have no doubt she will continue to face this unfathomable situation with courage and resolve. We will continue to support her and her parents in every way that we possibly can.”
