NOT SWEATING ANOTHER SHOOTING
TMZ.com

“Survivor” Season 48 contestant Eva Erickson narrowly dodged the gunman who opened fire at Brown University Saturday afternoon, but she says she's not overly worried about another shooting there.

Check out our interview -- the Ph.D. candidate says she feels "safe" while hunkered down at her off-campus residence in Providence, Rhode Island because she assumes the assailant is "long gone," reasoning ... "Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place." On the other hand, she notes the idea is "horrible" because it feels like the shooter has gotten away.

There's an intense manhunt for the gunman by local and federal authorities, and the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information in the ongoing case. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told ABC News Monday authorities "continue to receive zero credible threats to our community, Brown or the broader community," which he's certainly caught some flack for as the suspect remains on the lam.

While Eva feels safe overall, she tells TMZ she and her peers have just as much information as the general public, and the lack of knowledge about the assailant has everyone "on edge." She is pining for the answers to simple questions -- how and how such a tragedy could have happened.

One thing she's sure of -- something needs to change. Eva says it's "insane" students are so vulnerable to gun violence in America, noting ... "I just wanted to go to school and learn and have this community and be safe. And now that's been taken from me." While she says she doesn't have the answers, she looks at lawmakers who are better equipped to advocate for gun safety regulations.

update

3:30 PM PT -- Nick Reiner has formally been charged. The L.A.

The D.A. was quick to say there's been no final decision on going after the death penalty here, but the fact he even mentioned it right off the bat is pretty interesting.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell are set to hold a press conference at 1 PM PT to update the public on the Rob and Michele Reiner double-murder case.

As we reported ... Rob and Michele's 32-year-old son Nick was arrested on suspicion of killing his parents after they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, California home Sunday afternoon.

Matthew Perry Death Dr. Mark Chavez Sentenced To Home Confinement

Published

The second of 2 doctors who pleaded guilty in connection with Matthew Perry's death was sentenced Tuesday ... and the judge gave Dr. Mark Chavez a pretty light sentence.

United States District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett sentenced Chavez to eight months' home confinement and ordered him to complete 300 hours of community service.

In October 2024, Chavez pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. He quickly cut a deal with the feds after a slew of arrests were made in connection with Perry's death. Chavez admitted to selling ketamine to Dr. Salvador Plasencia, which was then sold to Perry weeks before the actor's fatal overdose.

Prosecutors said Chavez obtained the ketamine fraudulently by submitting a prescription in the name of a patient without the patient's knowledge or consent.

Earlier this month, Plasencia was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to 4 counts of distributing ketamine.

Decked For the Holidays Smug Woman Gets Face-Planted After Bar Fight

Published | Updated

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight! Insane video from a San Francisco restaurant shows a rowdy, belligerent patron going down hard on the sidewalk following an extended altercation with customers and staff.

Watch the video posted yesterday ... there's so much to cover. First, we see a young woman -- slurring her words and cursing loudly -- upset with a manager for apparently cutting her off from the bar. With her camera phone out, the woman appears to be planning to catch the staff "harassing" her. But while she's filming them, the rest of the customers are filming her.

The staff basically ignore her tirade, so the woman picks a fight with a fellow customer, violently swiping at the innocent bystander who had been recording the whole thing. The woman's date -- also visibly inebriated -- then restrains her as she swings wildly at the customer.

Then, as the woman walks away from the assault she just committed, a female staffer appears to expertly take the obnoxious young woman to the ground with a swift trip. Somebody's taken a judo class or two!
