When he went into the lobby Tupac was held at gunpoint and robbed of $40,000 worth of jewelry and shot five times. Tupac blamed Biggie for the shooting and so started the big West Coast East Coast War. Tupac attacked Biggie in every possible way, then on September 7, 1996 Tupac was shot and killed. This put even more people blaming Biggie. He decided to go to California to end all of this. Then on March 9, 1997 after he left a party, he was shot several times while in his SUV on the street.
