Robin Westman -- who killed 2 kids and injured 17 people in a targeted shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis Wednesday -- reportedly wrote a long-winded manifesto and uploaded a number of strange videos prior to the attack.

According to CNN ... investigators are currently examining -- and trying to authenticate -- YouTube videos allegedly posted by the shooter in order to gain more insight into a possible motive for the violence.

The videos in question -- and the account itself -- have since been taken down, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told reporters Westman had a "manifesto" scheduled to be published on YouTube Wednesday ... when authorities say Westman shot into morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.

The Backsteet Boys are winning big in Sin City ... because we found out how much they are raking in with their Las Vegas residency ... and it's a huge figure.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the band is grossing $4 million a night for their ongoing residency at the Sphere.

Here's how they're pulling in that much on the daily ... our sources say there's not much overhead or significant expenses involved -- they paid a one time fee of about $7 to $8 million for all the graphics they use in their shows -- and they've more than recouped what they spent on creative.

Tensions were high at the US Open on Wednesday after Taylor Townsend defeated Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets ... as the two got into a heated confrontation that was all caught on camera.

Drake vs. Kendrick? Cute. The real heavyweight grudge match is in the senior circuit ...  'cause Mick Jagger’s new nemesis seems to be none other than George freakin' Thorogood!

Yup, TMZ snagged the vid -- 75-year-old blues-rock legend George exited Houston’s House of Blues Wednesday following his show with The Destroyers ... only to turn back, eye a fan and drop the line ... "You tell Mick Jagger he can suck on that," pointing at the venue behind him, to a few supportive cheers, with one onlooker exclaiming "U-S-A!"

For the record -- there’s zero known beef between the "Bad to the Bone" singer and 82-year-old Mick. So either George was flexing to claim he's the boss, straight-up trolling for kicks, or just tossing Mick's name out at random 'cause of an adrenaline high.

Bryan Kohberger flipped out on a hotel clerk who he thought overcharged him after he booked a room on a travel website ... just months before the Idaho murders ... this according to a newly released police report.

According to cops, the now-convicted serial killer showed up alone at the hotel in Pullman, Washington, on June 30, 2022, after he booked the room through Expedia.

The docs say Kohberger made a beeline for the front desk -- where the female employee was apparently training that day -- and apparently got mad when he thought she overcharged him for the room while checking him in.

Cops say they were told Kohberger became "really upset" over being double-charged, but once she fixed the mistake, he was "nice" and even began flirting with her.
