From TMZ:

Rick Ross' Rolls-Royce smashed into a building in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida early this morning... while trying to escape from a gunman who opened fire on the car... this according to multiple reports.

Ross was not shot during the incident - nor was a female who was also inside the car.

According to local reports, "dozens" of shots were fired at the vehicle around 5AM - none of which hit the Rolls. Several buildings in the area WERE struck by gunfire.

Ross' Rolls reportedly crashed into a building while trying to speed away from the gunfire.

So far, cops have not made any arrests in connection with the shooting - and have not identified any suspects, rumor has it that this could be in connection to the running beef Ross has had with the Gangster Disciples.

Cops tell TMZ they are investigating.
