Crime & Arrests

Fort Stewart in southeastern Georgia descended into panic on Wednesday, August 6, when a shooter began opening fire on the military post, wounding five individuals.

Authorities were able to apprehend the suspected shooter, who's since been identified as Quornelius Radford, although he hasn't spoken about why he attacked the post.

We're going to take a look into the background of the suspect and get a handle on what may have led to the surprising attack.

Radford held the rank of sergeant at the time of the attack, and he was on active duty, according to NBC News.

The victims of the shooting were his co-workers, and he was reported to have used his personal weapon during the attack.

Radford was also reported to have ties to Florida, although his exact connection to the state was unclear immediately following the shooting.

Brigadier General John Lubas stated the suspect was "subdued" by other soldiers at the end of the attack, and claimed he was arrested by local authorities for allegedly driving while drunk, although the chain of command was unaware of the arrest.

1:17 AM PT -- The man suspected of opening fire at Fort Stewart has been identified as Quornelius Radford.

The shooting at Fort Stewart forced a quick response from authorities ... with one dispatcher calling for help after a mass shooting on the dispatch audio.

In the audio, the dispatcher tells first responders multiple gunshot wounds have been reported at the Georgia military base -- though the area had already been secured by the time of the call.

The dispatcher says there might be as many as five victims ... though thankfully, she says other EMS trucks are already on the scene, tending to the wounded.

Dave Franco is keeping an open mind about possibly playing Luigi Mangione in a potential biopic ... and it sounds like lots of folks in his life think he would be perfect for the role.

The actor was on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen when a fan asked him straight up whether he would play Luigi in a movie if he was offered the chance.

Dave says no one has approached him about such a role yet, but ... tons of people in his circle have raised the same possibility -- and it's actually the thing he gets asked about more than "anything else that has ever happened." Makes sense, Dave and Luigi bear a striking resemblance.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been suspended for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

The league made the announcement Tuesday, saying the 23-year-old will still be permitted to take part in all training camp activities as well as preseason games.

While the NFL did not specify exactly what Addison was being banned for, the wideout did recently cut a plea deal in his 2024 DUI case earlier last month following his July 2024 arrest near LAX.

The cops didn't have a hard time solving the murder of a grandma in Alabama ... 'cause her granddaughter confessed to it all on video!

Here's the scoop ... a security camera attached to a house in Irvington, Alabama, recorded 18-year-old Jailen Mia Lupton dashing onto a porch and getting into a fight with her neighbor, Cheryl Edwards, WDHN News reports.

During the altercation, Lupton bluntly tells Edwards she just killed her grandmother ... which only serves to escalate the situation, according to video obtained by WDHN.

Bill and Hillary Clinton -- and nearly a dozen other former feds and politicians -- have been subpoenaed for depositions by a Congressional committee ... all in connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

Rep. James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, announced Hillary will testify on October 9, followed by Bill on October 14. Comer also issued a subpoena to the DOJ for any Epstein-related records.

There are plenty of other high-profile names set to testify in the coming weeks ... including former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, as well as former U.S. Attorneys General Merrick Garland and Bill Barr.

Denzel Perryman is in the clear -- the District Attorney will NOT pursue charges against the Chargers linebacker -- just days after the NFL vet was busted for allegedly carrying two illegal assault rifles in L.A.

TMZ Sports has learned the L.A. County D.A. ultimately decided against charging the 32-year-old former second-round draft pick ... “The case was sent back to law enforcement for further investigation," the L.A. County DA tells us.

We broke the story ... Perryman was stopped and ultimately arrested by police Friday evening in the Los Angeles area -- as he headed to a local gun range.

Former NFL running back LeShon Johnson was convicted on six felony charges for his role in a dog-fighting operation ... in what is being considered one of the biggest busts in U.S. history.

The United States Department of Justice said on Monday that an Oklahoma federal jury found Johnson, 54, guilty of six felonies -- violating the federal Animal Welfare Act’s prohibitions against possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals to be used in fights.

This stems from Johnson's arrest in March, when authorities discovered 190 "pit bull-type dogs" on his property during an operation, "Mal Kant Kennels." It's the largest number ever seized from a single individual in a federal dog-fighting case.

President Trump would hit a home run if he were to grant Sean "Diddy" Combs a pardon for his prostitution conviction ... at least according to Mark Geragos.

The famed defense attorney was flying out of LAX on Monday when a photog asked him about a potential Trump pardon for Diddy.

Mark, whose daughter Teny defended Diddy in his federal criminal trial, says it's looking more and more likely that Trump will give Diddy clemency ... especially after the President's most recent comments on the case.

Sean "Diddy" Combs isn't going anywhere, at least for now ... he was again hoping for a taste of freedom, but the judge in his criminal case just denied bail, for the second time, pending his upcoming sentencing.

Judge Arun Subramanian ruled Monday against granting Diddy bail ... siding with federal prosecutors and keeping Diddy locked up at MDC Brooklyn as he awaits his October 3 sentencing for his conviction on a couple Mann Act charges.

In his order, the judge said there were no "exceptional reasons" warranting a release before his sentence.

As we first reported, Diddy filed a new motion for bail last week ... with his legal team arguing he's probably the only man in America behind bars for hiring and transporting male sex workers across state lines to bang his girlfriend.

Fivio Foreign is no longer locked up in New Jersey, TMZ Hip Hop can confirm ... the "City of Gods" rapper was released on August 1 after a judge sentenced him to probation.

The Bergen County PIO tells TMZ Hip Hop ... Fivio was sentenced to time served for the 196 days he's already spent in jail and 3 years of probation.

We broke the story ... Fivio was jailed in January after being accused of pulling out a gun on a woman in New Jersey, and he later pled guilty to terroristic threats.

Erik Menendez doesn't sound like he's getting the prison furlough he was hoping for ... because he's back behind bars after painful kidney stones sent him to the hospital.

Erik's daughter, Talia, shared an update on social media ... saying, "My dad is out of the hospital and back at the prison, preparing for our upcoming parole hearing."

We broke the story ... Erik left his state prison in San Diego last month and went to a hospital to undergo several surgeries to remove kidney stones.

Diddy's ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh -- Victim No. 3 in the federal indictment who was a no-show in court after prosecutors subpoenaed her -- just went to bat for him in his bid to get out of jail pending sentencing.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Gina pens a letter to the judge in Diddy's criminal case ... supporting Diddy's motion for bail.

Gina says she's known Diddy for years and that she's mostly seen him as a father, family man and business man ... not a criminal.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is firing back at federal prosecutors who want to keep him locked up at least another two months ... he says they're hellbent on punishing him for hiring adult male prostitutes and paying them handsomely to bang his girlfriends.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's legal team rips the feds ... claiming prosecutors are unfairly targeting him as they have throughout a "misplaced investigation"

Diddy's camp comes out firing ... "Impervious to the jury’s verdict, the government proceeds as though Combs was not acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, along with all the racketeering acts with which he was charged and found not guilty."

Soulja Boy was arrested after police say they found a firearm during a traffic stop … TMZ has confirmed.

Law enforcement sources tell us the rapper was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over around 2:30 AM Sunday in Los Angeles. During the stop, officers spotted a firearm in the car, and SB was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

It's currently unclear what prompted the traffic stop in the first place and details about the firearm or whether anyone else was involved remain unclear as well.

Bryan Kohberger may have used more than one weapon during the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, according to Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson.

In an interview with the Idaho Statesman, Thompson said some of Kaylee Goncalves' injuries didn't appear to be from the same knife used in the attack. "I don't think we can exclude the possibility that there was an additional weapon involved," the prosecutor said.

Court documents revealed Goncalves suffered over 20 stab wounds and blunt-force trauma. Thompson also believes Kohberger spared the surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen after panicking.
