Tory Lanez has been charged in connection with the shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion … just weeks after the singer released an album claiming his innocence.
The L.A. County D.A.’s Office hit him with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm – personal use of a firearm – and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
As we reported … the prosecutors had said they were mulling over a charge of felony assault with a firearm against Tory after Megan said she was shot back in July. Remember … Tory had been arrested but only charged with possession of a firearm. But, prosecutors are now explicitly pointing the finger at Tory as the man who pulled the trigger … leaving Meg with a gruesome foot injury.
It took Meg some time before she went public and accused Tory by name as the person who shot her. She didn’t mince words saying … “Yes, this n***a Tory shot me. You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people to these blogs lying and s**t, stop lying!”
As we reported, sources connected to Tory say there were mitigating circumstances — and based on what we know … we believe Tory’s going to say it was an accidental shooting. Megan didn’t help the D.A.’s effort after saying in her foot injury caption — which has since been deleted — she had her back to the SUV when she was shot in the heel.
You’ll recall … video of the incident showed cops pulling over the SUV in the Hollywood Hills — with Tory lying face-down on the pavement and Megan gingerly tip-toeing … leaving bloody footprints with each painful step.

We broke the story … Megan’s injuries to her feet were so bad she had to go into the operating room to remove bullets or bullet fragments.
