WWE star The Great Khali has been linked to a shooting in India that happened on Friday -- but the 7 foot superstar tells TMZ he had nothing to do with it.
According to varying reports, a bodyguard working for Khali allegedly fired shots into a crowd and reportedly injured three people (other reports say only one person was injured).
But Khali tells us, "I am deeply saddened to hear of this incident and am disappointed it has been incorrectly reported that I was involved. I had left my friend's house a half an hour before the reported shooting took place and did not have any bodyguards with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people who were injured."
In addition to his wrestling career, Khali had small parts in "The Longest Yard," "Get Smart," and "MacGruber."

Charlie Sheen Shooting Vodka In Las Vegas
TMZ has obtained photos of Charlie Sheen at The Palms hotel in Las Vegas taken less than an hour ago -- moments after the actor pounded a shot of vodka -- and there is "deep concern" for his well-being.
Sheen -- who was with a female companion -- bought himself the Grey Goose vodka shot ... and we're told there were other shots before that.
Charlie -- who has been in Vegas since the weekend -- was complaining to people at the bar that the suits behind "Two and a Half Men" had been urging him to go to rehab.
That's not far off. We're told Warner Bros. has been in touch with Charlie's team, trying to figure out a way of getting Charlie healthy. Sources say members of Charlie's team have urged him to go to rehab, but Charlie doesn't think he has a problem. Apparently, he's the only one who doesn't.
Sheen is due back on the set of the show tomorrow morning.

'Hangover' Star Sued Over Nightclub Shooting
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.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Sophia Bush Related to Arizona Shooting Victims
As the country continues to grapple with the aftermath of the Tucson, Ariz., shooting spree, actresses Sophia Bush and Gwyneth Paltrow are dealing with family tragedies due to the horrific event, according to E! Online.
Bush's second cousin, 9-year-old Christina Green, was killed Jan. 9 when shots were fired into a crowd gathered for Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' event at a Tucson Safeway.
Green, who was born Sept. 11, 2001, was at Rep. Gifford's event to learn more about politics.
"From the very beginning, she was an amazing child," her mother, Roxanna Green, told The New York Times. "She was very bright, very mature, off the charts. She was the brightest thing that happened that day."
Bush took to her Twitter page to express her sadness at the death of her cousin.
"There are no words to explain what my cousin's family is going through in Arizona," the 'One Tree Hill' star wrote. "How can this be? Violence is never the answer."
Paltrow, a cousin of Rep. Giffords, also released a statement to Entertainment Tonight about the tragedy. Though the actress has never met Giffords, she sent her positive thoughts to her and the rest of the shooting victims.
"Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Congresswoman Giffords, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as well as the other victims of this horrible act of senseless violence," Paltrow wrote.
