Cops: Youth Football Shooting Video Shows 11-Year-Old Firing On Teammates
Cops say surveillance video shows the moment an 11-year-old youth football player shot two of his teammates during an altercation at a practice in Florida on Monday ... and the footage is shocking.
In the clip, you can see a boy race to a vehicle in a parking lot, grab a gun from the passenger-side seat, and then fire on another boy who had his back turned.
11-Yr-Old Youth Football Player Arrested For Shooting Two 13-Yr-Old Teammates
Seconds later, you can see a woman grab the firearm from the kid's grasp ... before appearing to chastise him in the parking lot.
According to cops, the incident happened at around 8:20 PM at the Northwest Recreation Complex football field in Apopka ... after the 11-year-old and two other 13-year-old youth football players had gotten into an argument. They say when the child fired off the single round, it hit the others -- catching one in the upper body while clipping another in the arm.
Both boys are expected to recover from their injuries ... a surprising revelation, considering how frantic a woman was in a 911 call placed just seconds after the shot went off.
In the audio, you can hear a woman claiming to be the mother of one of the boys asking for medical help repeatedly after she says her son was shot in the back.
Cops say when officers got to the scene, they arrested the 11-year-old. They added that he's since been charged with one count of second-degree attempted murder.
"Nobody wants to arrest an 11-year-old, by any means," Apopka police chief Mike McKinley said of the matter during a press conference on Tuesday, "but based on our investigation we feel those charges are warranted."
Police also said the 11-year-old's parents could be facing criminal charges ... if officials determine they left a gun in a place where the child could reach it.

NIÑO DE 11 AÑOS LE DISPARA A SUS COMPAÑEROS DE EQUIPO Acusado por intento de asesinato
Un jugador de fútbol juvenil de 11 años se enfrenta a un cargo de intento de asesinato en segundo grado después de presuntamente dispararle a dos de sus jóvenes compañeros de equipo en la práctica de esta semana en Florida.
TMZ Sports confirmó el incidente que ocurrió en el Northwest Recreation Center alrededor de las 8:20 PM del lunes, cuando tres niños estaban involucrados en una discusión después de la práctica que tomó un giro aterrador.
"El altercado continuó en el estacionamiento donde este menor tuvo acceso a un arma de fuego en el coche de su madre", dijo el jefe de policía de Apopka Mike McKinley durante una conferencia de prensa el martes.
Fue entonces cuando McKinley dijo que el sospechoso sin nombre (la policía no está revelando su identidad debido a su corta edad), que no tiene antecedentes penales, apretó el gatillo y le dio a sus dos compañeros de equipo.
Una de las víctimas fue alcanzada en el brazo y la otra sufrió heridas en la parte superior del cuerpo. Ambos chicos tienen 13 años.
"Disparó un solo tiro", dijo McKinley, "y ese único disparo alcanzó a ambas víctimas".
McKinley dijo que el joven sospechoso está acusado de un cargo de intento de asesinato en segundo grado (podrían añadirse más cargos) y el departamento también está estudiando la posibilidad de presentar cargos contra los padres que dejaron el arma en un lugar al alcance del niño.
"Es un crimen para permitir que sus hijos tengan acceso a su arma de fuego en una caja no segura", dijo el jefe McKinley.
En cuanto a la corta edad del tirador, el jefe dice que esta no es una posición en la que querían estar.
"Nadie quiere arrestar a un niño de 11 años, de ninguna manera, pero en base a nuestra investigación creemos que esos cargos están justificados".
Afortunadamente, se espera que las dos víctimas estén bien.
Youth Football Players 11-Yr-Old Arrested For Shooting Teammates ... Facing Attempted Murder
An 11-year-old youth football player is facing a second-degree attempted murder charge after allegedly shooting two of his young teammates at practice this week in Florida.
TMZ Sports confirmed the incident with police who say it all happened at the Apopka (FL) Northwest Recreation Center around 8:20 PM on Monday ... when three kids were involved in an argument after practice that took a terrifying turn.
"[The altercation] continued into the parking lot where this juvenile had access to a firearm in his mother's car," Apopka police chief Mike McKinley said during a press conference on Tuesday.
That's when McKinley said the unnamed suspect (cops aren't releasing his identity because of his age), who doesn't have a criminal history, squeezed off a single round, striking his two teammates with a single shot.
One of the victims was hit in the arm and the other suffered injuries to the upper body. Both boys are 13.
"Fired one shot," McKinley said, "and that one shot hit both victims."
McKinley said the young suspect is being charged with one count of second-degree attempted murder (more charges could be tacked on) ... and the department is also looking at potentially pressing charges against the parents who left the gun in a place the child could reach it.
"It is a crime to allow your children to have access to your firearm in an unsecured box," Chief McKinley said.
As for the young age of the shooter, the chief says this isn't a position they wanted to be in.
"Nobody wants to arrest an 11-year-old, by any means, but based on our investigation we feel those charges are warranted."
The two victims are thankfully expected to be okay.

Charlotte Sena Abduction Alleged Kidnapper Left Ransom Note ... Child Found in Kitchen Cabinet
The alleged kidnapper of 9-year-old Charlotte Sena made a bonehead move to get caught … leaving a ransom note with his fingerprint on it at the girl’s home.
Craig Nelson Ross Jr. was arrested Monday evening after a 2-day frantic police search for Sena, who was abducted while on a camping trip with her family in upstate New York.
Cops say Sena was biking through Moreau Lake State Park Saturday evening, when she was snatched -- and her cycle was later discovered by authorities, launching the quest to find her.
Investigators caught a huge break early Monday morning when they staked out Sena's house and spotted a man driving up in a car, getting out and stuffing the ransom note into the mailbox.
The man -- suspected to be Ross -- jumped back into his vehicle and drove away.
Officers then retrieved the note from the mailbox and lifted a fingerprint off it. The print was later matched to one already on file for Ross after his 1999 arrest for driving while intoxicated.
Cops then raided Ross's camper in nearby Milton, NY, placing him under arrest and finding Sena in a kitchen cabinet.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced at a press conference Sena was in good health, but was still taken to a hospital to be evaluated.
Ross has been charged with first-degree kidnapping.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Motorcycle Madness Video Shows Biker Chaos In Philly ... Mom, Kids Violently Targeted
10/3/23
A gang of motorcycle riders briefly took over downtown Philadelphia this past weekend ... and one pistol-packin' hooligan put a mom and her kids in his violent crosshairs.
Dozens of bikers rolled through "The City of Brotherly Love" Sunday night, stopping traffic and causing a total ruckus.
Check out this video ... which shows all the chaos as it unfolds and the armed troublemaker getting off his bike to climb onto the back of the mom's car.
The young man jumps up and down on the rear windshield, shattering the glass.
As he leaps out of the car, his gun drops to the ground, and he quickly scoops it up as the furious mom exits the driver's seat and confronts him at an intersection.
During their ensuing argument, the mom walks toward him, making him backpedal before he shoves her and headbutts her with his helmet on.
He then straddles his bike, but the mom pushes him over, yet he manages to ride away.
The mom, Nikki Bullock, later told CBS Philadelphia that at the time she was driving for Uber Eats with her kids in the car so she wouldn't have to pay for expensive daycare services. Bullock said her children were terrified and screaming throughout the ordeal.
Philadelphia cops are now searching for the gun-toting suspect.

Motociclista loco Video muestra un caos en Filadelfia Madre y niños violentamente atacados
10/3/23
Un grupo de motociclistas se tomó el centro de Filadelfia el pasado fin de semana y uno de ellos en particular le hizo pasar un muy mal rato a una madre y a sus hijos.
Decenas de motociclistas pasearon por la "La Ciudad del Amor Fraternal" el domingo por la noche, causando detenciones en el tráfico y un alboroto total.
Echa un vistazo a este video que muestra el caos minuto a minuto y al alborotador armado que baja de su bicicleta para subirse a la parte trasera del carro de la madre.
El joven salta sobre el parabrisas trasero y le rompe el cristal.
Al saltar del carro, su pistola cae al suelo. La recoge rápidamente cuando la furiosa madre sale del asiento del conductor y se enfrenta con él en un cruce.
Durante la discusión, la madre camina hacia el motorista, haciéndolo retroceder antes de que él la empuje y le dé un cabezazo con el casco puesto.
A continuación, se sube a su moto. La madre lo empuja, aunque él consigue huir de todas formas.
La mamá, Nikki Bullock, dijo más tarde a CBS Filadelfia que en ese momento estaba conduciendo para Uber Eats con sus hijos en el carro para no tener que pagar por los costosos servicios de guardería. Bullock dijo que sus hijos estaban aterrorizados y que gritaron durante toda la terrible experiencia.
La policía de Filadelfia busca ahora al sospechoso armado.
Niña de 9 años desaparecida Encontrada sana y salva tras temores de secuestro
Charlotte Sena, la niña de 9 años cuya desaparición desató temores de un secuestro, fue encontrada sana y salva y la policía tiene un sospechoso bajo custodia.
La Policía del Estado de Nueva York anunció el lunes que Charlotte fue localizada y que se encuentra en buen estado de salud después de desaparecer el sábado durante un viaje de camping con su familia en el norte del estado de Nueva York.
Charlotte desapareció después de dar un paseo en bicicleta en Moreau Lake State Park. Estuvo paseando por los senderos con sus amigos antes de la cena y nunca regresó. Su madre temía que hubiera sido secuestrada después de que su bicicleta fuera encontrada en uno de los bucles del parque.
Las autoridades iniciaron una búsqueda en el parque, con agencias estatales, federales y locales trabajando juntas. La extensa búsqueda contó con perros policía, barcos, equipos submarinos y aviones no tripulados para tratar de encontrar a Charlotte, con 400 personas rastreando la zona.
Una alerta AMBER salió la noche del domingo y el lunes por la tarde, la Policía Estatal dijo que los investigadores ya no creían que Charlotte aún estuviera en el parque.
No está claro cuándo y dónde se encontró a Charlotte y los funcionarios no han dado a conocer el nombre del sospechoso o qué cargos podría enfrentar.
Por ahora, la policía dice que sigue siendo una investigación activa.
Missing 9-Year-Old Girl Found Safe After Abduction Fears ... Suspect In Custody
Charlotte Sena, the 9-year-old girl whose disappearance sparked fears of an abduction, has been found safe after going missing ... and cops have a suspect in custody.
New York State Police announced Monday that Charlotte was "located and in good health" after vanishing Saturday during a camping trip with her family in upstate New York.
Charlotte disappeared after going on a bike ride in Moreau Lake State Park, hitting the bike trails with her close friends before dinner and never returning. Her mother feared she had been abducted after her bike was found on one of the park's loops.
Law enforcement launched a search of the park ... with state, federal and local agencies working together. The extensive search enlisted police dogs, boats, underwater teams and drones to try and find Charlotte, with 400 people scouring the area.
An AMBER Alert went out Sunday night and by Monday afternoon, State Police said investigators no longer believed Charlotte was still in the park.
It's unclear when and where Charlotte was found ... and officials have not released the name of the suspect, or what charges they could face.
For now, police say it's still an active investigation.

Kountry Wayne My Kids, My Responsibility!!! Defends $200K Monthly Child Support
Kountry Wayne not only sees no issue with shelling out six figures a month in child support for his 10 kids, he thinks anyone who partakes in the trickle-down business model are the real suckers in this country!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The comedian/rapper hopped on IG Sunday after his recent interview with Sherri Shepherd about paying $200,000 each month -- for his 10 kids with 5 different women -- had so many people dumbfounded.
KW explained he actually enjoyed splurging on his children as opposed to spending it on partying and having Uncle Sam collect the bulk of the earnings.
KW is coming off a successful Netflix special and says his business contracts are set up for him to recoup all the money and the child support system isn't pimping him as people assume.
On the other hand, KW says people who allow themselves to get taken advantage of have no reason to even come for his throat!!!

Blueface's Mom Defends Nude Baby Photo Post ... Showing Hernia Isn't Illegal
-
Exclusive
- 169 shares
Blueface's mother is defending the controversial nude baby photo posted on the rapper's social media -- because she believes there's absolutely nothing illegal about seeking help for an infant's hernia.
We got Karlissa Saffold on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles and asked her about the photo, which Blueface claims was uploaded last weekend while his account was hacked.
While Karlissa says she was initially outraged when she saw the graphic post, like most everyone else, which shows her grandkid's unhealthy genitals ... she says her opinion changed when she saw similar posts from other concerned parents seeking input on hernias.
What's more, Karlissa says the graphic photo wasn't done in a pornographic way ... she says it was about helping the child, and thus wasn't illegal.
We also asked about all the drama between her son and the child's mother, Chrisean Rock ... and she said she would step in if there was a need to keep the peace and help the baby. She's seeing the same nasty exchanges we all are, and says they both continue "doing some vicious stuff to one another."
The way Mom sees it, all the drama is what comes with folks who are at the end of a breakup -- and she throws some shade their way, saying there's "3 kids involved" ... Blueface, Chrisean and the infant.
To be clear, Karlissa isn't saying she will take the baby from Chrisean, she says she would never take a child from a mother who is capable of caring for her baby. But, she says she's ready and willing to help in any capacity.
And, this is very interesting ... Karlissa added that she's more concerned about the way Chrisean was carrying the baby in a Walmart than the hernia photo.
We should also note, Karlissa has an ongoing family reality show ... with Blueface, his siblings and herself called "CixoT," and you gotta wonder if the hernia drama will become content for the program.

LA MADRE DE BLUEFACE DEFIENDE LA PUBLICACIÓN DE UNA FOTO DE SU BEBÉ DESNUDO
-
Exclusivo
- 14 shares
La madre de Blueface defiende la polémica foto del bebé desnudo publicada en las redes sociales del rapero porque cree que no hay absolutamente nada ilegal en buscar ayuda para la hernia de un bebé.
Tuvimos a Karlissa Saffold en Sunset Blvd en Los Ángeles y le preguntamos acerca de la foto que Blueface afirma, fue subida el pasado fin de semana mientras que su cuenta era hackeada.
Mientras Karlissa dice que estaba inicialmente indignada cuando vio el post (como la mayoría de la gente), que muestra los genitales poco saludables de su nieto, ella dice que su opinión cambió cuando vio posts similares de otros padres preocupados que buscan información sobre las hernias.
Lo que es más, Karlissa dice que la foto no se hizo de una manera pornográfica. Dice que se trataba de ayudar al niño, y, por lo tanto, no era ilegal.
También le preguntamos sobre todo el drama entre su hijo y la madre del niño, Chrisean Rock. Nos dijo que iba a intervenir si surgía la necesidad de mantener la paz y ayudar al bebé. Está viendo los mismos intercambios desagradables que todos nosotros y dice que ambos siguen "haciéndose cosas tóxicas".
Según mamá, todo este drama es propio de gente que está al final de una ruptura, y los critica un poco diciendo que hay "3 niños de por medio", Blueface, Chrisean y el bebé.
Para ser claros, Karlissa no está diciendo que va a tomar el bebé de Chrisean, ella dice que nunca tomaría un niño de una madre que es capaz de cuidar a su bebé. Pero dice que ella está lista y dispuesta a ayudar de cualquier manera.
Esto es muy interesante; Karlissa añadió que le preocupa más la forma en que Chrisean llevaba al bebé la otra vez en un Walmart que la foto de la hernia.
También debemos señalar que Karlissa tiene un reality show familiar en curso, con Blueface, sus hermanos y ella misma llamada "CixoT". Nos preguntamos si el drama de la hernia se convertirá en contenido para el programa.

NFL La colaboración de la NFL con "Toy Story"
La NFL se puso animada este fin de semana, ya que la liga se asoció con nada menos que Disney para transmitir una versión simultánea de un juego en el que todos fueron reimaginados como juguetes.
Nos referimos al enfrentamiento entre los Jags y los Falcons en Londres, el cual comenzó muy temprano. Disney y ESPN estaban preparando una espectacular sorpresa relacionada con "Toy Story". Tan pronto como comenzó el juego, su propia transmisión animada comenzó en vivo.
This... is wild.

Es exactamente como suena, básicamente, mientras el juego real se desarrollaba en la pantalla; otra parte de la pantalla mostraba lo mismo pero en el universo de Disney, donde se podía ver a todos los jugadores convertidos en juguetes.
La transmisión de "Toy Story" no estuvo en la pantalla principal todo el tiempo, al parecer la alternaban en diferentes momentos del partido, como en las repeticiones y momentos destacados, etc.

Fue bastante impresionante verlo, y las reacciones en línea ciertamente lo reflejaron. La gente quedó bastante cautivada por la tecnología, sin mencionar a todos los demás personajes de "Toy Story" incorporados en el fondo y en las líneas laterales.
Dicho esto, la nueva característica no estuvo libre de problemas; hubo momentos en los que "Toy Story" se trababa o no regresaba a la acción a tiempo, lo que molestó a algunos.

Aun así, hubo más cosas positivas que negativas y considerando cuánto se habló del tema de "Toy Story", casi se puede garantizar que la NFL intentará hacerlo de nuevo en un futuro cercano.
Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que la liga hace algo así, en el pasado se asociaron con Nickelodeon y superpusieron imágenes de realidad aumentada en partes del juego, incluyendo momentos "slime" después de los touchdowns.

NFL 'Toy Story' Team-Up ... Simultaneous Animated Game!!!
The NFL got animated this weekend -- the shield teamed up with none other than Disney to broadcast a simultaneous version of a game that saw everybody reimagined as a toy.
Of course, we're referring to the Jags facing off against the Falcons in London ... the kickoff for which was super early. That doesn't mean Disney/ESPN wasn't ready with their big "Toy Story" skin, though -- as soon as the game started, their own cartoon stream was live.

It's exactly how it sounds ... basically, while the real game was playing out on everyone's TV, a different part of the screen was showing Disney's carbon copy universe -- where all the players were turned into toys and their on-field play was translating moment-for-moment.
The "Toy Story" stream wasn't on the main screen the entire time -- it sounds like they cut away to it during different parts of the match ... including replays/highlights, etc.

It was pretty cool to see, and the reactions online certainly reflected that ... as people were somewhat mesmerized by the technology -- not to mention all the other "Toy Story" characters being incorporated into the background and on the sidelines.
With that said, the new feature wasn't without its issues -- there were moments when the "Toy Story" would glitch up and/or not cut back to the main action in time ... and it PO'd some.

Still, it was way more good than bad ... and considering how much the "Toy Story" stuff got talked about, you can almost guarantee the NFL will try doing this again in the near future.
BTW, this isn't the first time the league has done something like this ... they've partnered with Nickelodeon in the past and had AR visuals superimposed over portions of the game -- including "slime" moments after touchdowns.

Tom Brady “I GOT TRADED!!!” Hits Up Sports Memorabilia Event
Tom Brady gave hundreds of kids a day to remember Saturday, by not only hitting up a sports trading card event but also getting in on the action!
Brady was the surprise guest at the Fanatics and Topps Hobby Rip Night in Linwood, New Jersey.
There were some big stars front and center, including Travis Scott, Kevin Hart, who hosted the event, and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.
Fanatics is the biggest sports merchandizer in the game.
The Linwood store has a capacity of 100, but so many people showed hundreds more descended onto the parking lot.
Brady was all in, trading cards with fans and the kids went nuts. Fact is ... Brady owns tons of football cards.
Jon Riffle, who owns the store, was beside himself ... "This was incredible. Unreal. I did not expect the turnout. We were notified on short notice. We talked to the kids and got them involved. The smiles on these kids' faces. The experience of trading their own cards with an athlete and celebrity is an experience they'll probably never have again."
