Mike Epps is being sued for $1 million after he and his cronies delivered a nice beat down to a photographer at his wife’s private birthday party in which shots ended up being fired at the photographer who ran for his life. SMH:

Mike Epps just got sued for $1 million for punching a photog back in November — but the victim claims the violence didn’t end there … accusing Epps’ friends of firing shots at him as he tried to escape.

Cameraman Douglas Thornton filed the seven-figure lawsuit today in Michigan — claiming he was covering a public event hosted for Epps at the Key Club in Detroit. According to Thornton, Epps went ballistic and started grabbing at Thornton’s camera … at which point a fist-flying brawl erupted.

Thornton claims Epps unleashed a “brutal beating” — and after Thornton was physically removed from the club, “members of Epps’ entourage fired several shots at Thornton who ran for his life.”

Thornton’s attorney tells TMZ, “Mr. Epps is lucky he is not facing a murder charge.”

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Thornton claims he was “hired to film the party that was being thrown for Mike Epps.”

Calls to Epps have not been returned.

Mediaoutrage- SMH @ shots being fired.

Mike Epps and his lovely very-fine wife, Michelle, were involved in a brawl during her birthday dinner with a photographer that just wouldn’t respect their rules to not film the event.

Peep the video

Mike Epps unleashed a fist of fury last weekend … socking a photographer who was allegedly harassing the comedian during a party for Mike’s wife — and a HUGE brawl broke out!!!

It all went down at the Key Club in Detroit last Saturday (11/27) — Epps tells us the photog was talking trash to him and his wife while filming them inside the restaurant … and Day-Day snapped.

Epps — who played the “wrong Doug” in “The Hangover” — can be seen throwing one haymaker as security instantly swarmed in to break up the melee.

Epps tells TMZ, “It was a private celebration for my wife’s birthday. I asked the photographer numerous times not to film, but he refused to let up. I then attempted to retrieve the tape from the camera.”

Attempts to reach the photographer – who was escorted out of the restaurant post-beatdown — were unsuccessful.
