Tupac Shakur's Last Word's Revealed by Police Officer on the Scene of His 1996 Shooting

The last two words of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur were recently revealed by a police officer that was on the scene of his 1996 shooting.

The incident that left Shakur in a coma for the next 7 days until he finally died took place on the Las Vegas strip on Sept. 7 1996, where Officer Chris Carroll claims to have heard the rapper and actor's last words.

Carroll pulled Shakur out of the car after the shooting, and described that day in a recent interview with Nevada's Vegas Seven.

"He went from fighting to 'I can't do it,' and when he made that transition, he looked at me, and he's looking right in my eyes," Carroll adds. "And that's when I looked at him and said one more time, 'Who shot you? He looked at me and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation. And then the words came out: [Expletive] you."

He claims these were his last words since the rapper was unconscious for his entire ambulance ride to the hospital.

"That moment I talked to him was his last real living moment where he was speaking," Carroll says. "I talked to the cop who rode in the ambulance with him. He said Tupac never came out of it, and he never said anything at the hospital. There was nothing else."

Suge Knight, the driver of the car Tupac was shot in stirred up a bit of controversy earlier this month when he claimed the rapper was still alive.

"Tupac not dead," he said. "Tupac not dead. If he was dead they'd be arresting those dudes for murder. You know he somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on an island somewhere."
