Two victims killed in the mass shooting at Florida State University have been identified ... one was a food services executive and the other worked in a dining hall.

The other deceased victim was identified as Tiru Chabba ... he was a father of two from South Carolina who worked for Aramark and was on campus during Thursday's mass shooting.

The alleged Florida State University shooter stalked his prey around the campus, firing at people as they ran for their lives, and it was caught on terrifying video.

Check it out ... suspected gunman Phoenix Ikner is allegedly seen in the footage walking down a path before he abruptly stops, turns and opens fire at screaming students, who scatter in all directions. A person appears to be lying on the ground nearby.

Haley Joel Osment caused a stir at the chair lift before his arrest at California's Mammoth Mountain resort earlier this month -- and we have it on video.

Check it out ... "The Sixth Sense" star -- who's notably wearing his helmet backward -- is lined up and ready to pop a squat on the lift, but there's one thing missing -- his snowboard! Footage shows a female crew member trying to reason with him and remove him from the line, but he's insistent on getting up the mountain even without his board to bring him back down.

Haley's fellow skiers and snowboarders begin to grow impatient, with some even heckling him to get out of there. He ignores their demands ... but turns around and shrugs them off -- seemingly perplexed by their anger.

Karmelo Anthony has not withdrawn funds from his nearly $450,000 GiveSendGo fundraiser ... even after he walked free from the slammer on a $250K bond Monday.

Jacob Wells, cofounder of the popular crowdsourcing platform, tells TMZ no funds have been distributed, as the company receives "clarity from the campaign recipient on use of funds so that the people that have given can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The revelation comes while folks question how Anthony satisfied his $250,000 bond -- which a judge reduced from $1 million -- and how his family is covering his legal costs as the 17-year-old faces a first-degree murder charge in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at their Frisco, Texas track meet earlier this month ... all while allegedly living in a $900,000 rental home.

The officer gets back to his feet ... but not for long, as the ATV pops a wheelie and fully runs him over, before fleeing.

Billy Bush thinks artificial intelligence is severely lacking the latter word in its name ... calling the tech "crap" after hearing it didn't even rank him as a top 10 member of the Bush family.

We caught up with the popular television host recently ... and, we asked him where he thinks he ranks on the list we generated using A.I., putting members of his famous fam in order from most to least successful.

Billy ain't crazy ... not putting himself in the top spot ahead of his uncle, former President George H.W. Bush, or his cousin, former President George W. Bush -- instead numbering himself in a very humble 11th place.

Bill Maher got into granular detail about his dinner with Donald Trump nearly 2 weeks ago at the White House, and he's convinced the authentic Trump is charming and even self-deprecating, while the President is an actor of sorts ... but a bunch of people think Bill's got it backwards.

The 'Real Time' host broke down how he broke bread with 47, saying he's a good judge of people ... having been around for a minute and performing before crowds he had to win over -- performing for 4 decades.

Bill says the REAL Trump is literally a guy you'd like to have dinner with ... filled with charm, funny, able to take criticism and fully engaging. He thinks the President -- whose persona is vastly different -- is essentially creating a character or caricature who is acting out a role.

The pilot of the helicopter that went down in New York City's Hudson River Thursday was a former Navy SEAL who dreamed of flying ... so says his wife, about 24 hours after the crash.

12:53 PM PT -- The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed in a news release Friday the use-of-force incident is under investigation. Officials said deputies were responding to multiple reports of a man walking in traffic and making obscene gestures at drivers Thursday night. The suspect, identified as Le Chau, allegedly began fighting with the female deputy who was first to arrive and who tried to handcuff the man. The fight went to the ground, and a second arriving deputy helped detain the suspect ... who allegedly ignored requests to stop resisting and fighting, resulting in the strikes to his head.

Chau was handcuffed and then treated at a hospital. When he was later booked for resisting an officer with force or violence, battery on a police officer, and disturbing the peace by intoxication, officials say, he again "initiated a physical confrontation" with deputies, resulting in more charges. The Sheriff's Office says Chau has been arrested more than 20 times since 2014, with multiple convictions for resisting an officer.

Law enforcement in Louisiana used a suspect's head as a punching bag during an arrest in broad daylight on a public street -- and the vicious beatdown was all caught on video.
