Police

Police in Oklahoma City have arrested a man they say was responsible for the shooting after Game 7 of the NBA Finals, which put a teenager in the hospital.

On Wednesday, OKCPD said they identified their suspect after a handgun was found during a June 24 traffic stop (just a couple of days after the shooting) ... resulting in the arrest of 20-year-old Kaziya Penn. He was initially charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm.

Law enforcement officials test-fired the weapon through the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN), and they say it matched the same gun used in the June 22 shooting, which occurred shortly after the conclusion of the deciding game between the Thunder and Pacers.

Dean Cain's putting his money where his mouth is ... saying he plans to join ICE as soon as possible -- because he believes it's the right thing to do.

The 'Lois & Clark' actor appeared on Fox News Wednesday night ... telling Jesse Watters he's been in touch with ICE officials and will be sworn in as an agent very soon.

Watters asks Cain squarely if he'll be "hopping out of ICE vans and apprehending guys" ... to which Cain says he'll do whatever ICE Director Todd Lyons wants -- and if that's what it takes, then absolutely.

Denise Richards has a pretty nasty bruise under her eye and a cut on her chin days after she showed up to her estranged husband's place unannounced ... which is interesting, because she used a photo of a black eye to get a restraining order against him, and as far as we know, he hasn't been near her since.

The actress/reality star was photographed Tuesday running errands in Calabasas, California -- the city just north of Los Angeles -- and the discolored mark stood out starkly under the bill of her cap.

Denise ain't smiling in these photos ... and, it looks like she's got a cut under her chin, too.

Sources close to Denise tell us it's just lighting and shadow giving the appearance of a black eye ... and she had micro-needling and a PRP injection.

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.

6:41 AM PT -- United States Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro tells TMZ ... “It’s time we start taking crime more seriously irrespective of the age of the criminal. No longer can we coddle criminals while innocent victims are being assaulted and maimed as young violent criminals avoid consequences. It’s time for this to end.”

Donald Trump is furious about what he sees as out-of-control violence in Washington, D.C. -- and he's pointing to a specific case that's really hitting home for him!

47 is super pissed that former DOGE staffer Edward "Big Balls" Coristine was savagely beaten by a bunch of juveniles in D.C. over the weekend and now he's threatening to federalize the nation's capital. Elon Musk was the head of DOGE -- the Department of Government Efficiency -- before exiting the administration after having a falling out with Trump.

In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump went off on local officials, saying teen gang members had taken over D.C. and are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens."

He added that if D.C. didn't get its act together he would be forced to take federal control of the city to put criminals on notice because "they’re not going to get away with it anymore." Trump also cited the assault of "Big Balls" and posted a bloody photo of Coristine after the beatdown.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, "Big Balls" was with his significant other, Emily Bryant, near his vehicle in D.C. in the early morning hours Sunday. Police say a group of 10 juveniles confronted them and said something about stealing their car.

Cops say "Big Balls" shoved Bryant inside the vehicle and turned toward the assailants, who began brutally assaulting him. Officers on patrol witnessed the assault and arrested 2 of the suspects, while police say the other attackers ran away with one stolen item -- an iPhone worth $1,000.

Denise Richards struck fear into the hearts of Aaron Phypers' elderly parents when she showed up at their home to get some dogs ... at least according to the 911 call from the latest divorce drama.

TMZ obtained the dispatch audio from Sunday's incident at the Calabasas home Aaron shares with his parents and brother ... and you hear the dispatcher relay that Aaron feared for his parents.

We broke the story ... sources close to Aaron claim his estranged wife showed up at the home unannounced and started banging on a back door, demanding to be let inside.

The horny Texas cop under investigation for saying she would write everyone a ticket because she didn't get banged the night before was just blowing smoke, TMZ has learned.

Jennifer Escalera -- a deputy with the Harris County Constable Precinct 5 -- did not write one single ticket the day she promised to do so in a recent TikTok video she posted, according to sources with direct knowledge.

In the viral clip, Escalera is sitting in a police car while in uniform, working on a laptop and scribbling on a notepad with a caption that reads, "Din't (sic) get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket."

6:08 PM PT -- Aaron tells TMZ ... "Absolutely false, not true on both accusations. Denise’s attorney has consistently struck out in pursuit of the truth. There is a difference between telling the truth and trying to protect your client."

He continuted, "Denise’s actions are willfully intentional in the slander and destruction of what is left of a family. This is after Denise chose to carry on an adulterous affair - after being caught not once, not twice, but three times."

Aaron wrapped it up, saying ... "Having the title of attorney or being a celebrity does not put you above the law. It does not give you the right to humiliate others for the sake of your interests. Both of these actions have been readily apparent here in the last couple of weeks."

3:15 PM PT -- Denise Richards' divorce attorney, Brett Berman, tells TMZ ... "Ms. Richards did not violate a restraining order. On August 3, 2025, after confirming that Mr. Phypers was not present in her home, Ms. Richards entered the home to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission.”

The Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers divorce keeps getting uglier ... because the cops were called after Denise showed up at his house to pick up a dog.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies were called Sunday afternoon to the Calabasas home Aaron shares with his parents and brother, after Denise showed up to get their dog.

Problem is ... Denise has a restraining order in place against Aaron ... meaning they can't get within 100 yards of each other.

A horny police officer in Houston, Texas, is under investigation after posting on social media about writing "everyone" a ticket because she didn't get any adult action the night before.

The viral video shows Harris County Constable Precinct 5 Deputy Jennifer Escalera sitting in a squad car in her uniform -- with her nameplate visible -- taking out a pen and writing on a notepad ... with an onscreen caption, "Din't (sic) get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket."

Escalera shared the video on TikTok and it went viral ... and she's since deleted it from her account.

Prosecutors in Arkansas say Andrew James McGann left a hiking trail at a state park a bloody mess after stabbing a couple to death ... and folks saw him leaving the scene with blood on his face.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors go in-depth on the brutal slayings of Clinton Brink and Cristen Brink last month at Devil's Den State Park in West Fork, Arkansas.

They say a 911 call came in July 26 reporting two dead bodies on a hiking trail with a large amount of blood ... the bodies belonged to the Brinks, who were hiking with their young daughters.

Welp, that's awkward ... the cop who arrested Diego Sanchez last month told the UFC legend he was a longtime fan of the fighter ... admitting he watched him scrap since he was "a little kid!"

TMZ Sports obtained body camera footage of the arrest ... after cops alleged the 43-year-old shot a gun out of a moving car while officers were working an incident on I-40 in Albuquerque, NM.

Cops initially spoke to the driver of the car Sanchez was in ... and after they identified him, the cop responded, "As in the Diego Sanchez?"

Bryan Kohberger’s gonna have no cellmates and no distractions ... 'cause he's just been moved to solitary confinement at Idaho’s Maximum Security Institution, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ Kohberger’s long-term restrictive housing -- J Block -- isn’t just any penitentiary unit. It holds up to 128 inmates, and includes everyone from protective custody incarcerees to long-term isolation holds ... and even death row.

It’s a grim setup -- inmates in long-term restrictive housing live alone in their cells, only allowed to exit in restraints ... they get showers every other day, and are permitted just one hour of outdoor time daily.

A Kentucky woman was arrested outside Walt Disney World after a security guard allegedly found meth in her purse -- which cops claim she told them she got from a guy at her hotel.

Brandi Asher -- a 37-year-old woman from London, KY -- was arrested back in May ... and, cops have just released the full report explaining why she was taken into custody while trying to enter Florida's House of Mouse.

According to the report, an Orange County sheriff's deputy was called by Disney security, who believed Asher was trying to bring contraband into the park.

A little girl was allegedly nearly snatched from a mall in Virginia ... and, the incident was captured on surveillance video released by authorities.

The Fairfax County Police Department shared footage from the Fair Oaks Shopping Center on July 18, which shows a man walking up to a toddler, picking her up and calmly walking away.

It happens really quickly ... and, it doesn't seem like the kid's screaming out or anything. The man walks out of frame, and the video ends.

The Midtown Manhattan mass shooting of July 28 sent shockwaves throughout New York City, and much of the metropolis has come together in support of the victims of the attack.

One of the individuals who was gunned down in the violent incident was NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, whose family has taken his loss especially hard.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late law enforcement figure and see why he's been described as a "hero" in the wake of his death.

Islam immigrated to the United States from Bangladesh and settled in The Bronx, where he lived with his family in the Parkchester neighborhood, according to abc7NY.

The officer had been with the NYPD for three and a half years at the time of the shooting, and he was assigned to the city's 47th Precinct.

The cop was off-duty and was working a private security detail assignment at the time of the heinous attack, which marked the first time an NYPD officer of Bangladeshi descent was killed in the line of duty.

Islam was wearing his NYPD uniform and was reportedly carrying his service weapon when Shane Tamura carried out the shooting.

While Islam's loss was felt throughout New York City, it hit hardest with his immediate family, which includes his wife and two young sons, according to CBS News New York.

Even more heartbreaking is the fact that Islam's wife was pregnant with the couple's third child at the time of the shooting.

Islam's cousin Muhammad Mainul Islam spoke to CBS News after the officer's death was shared with the public, and he said the late cop's father suffered a stroke after he learned about what happened to his son.

Congregants of Parkchester Jame Masjid mosque, where the law enforcement officer and his family attended prayer services, have also been affected by his loss.

Islam's death was marked with numerous tributes from various figures, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NY Governor Kathy Hochul, both of whom directed flags to fly at half-staff in memory of the fallen officer.

Adams spoke about Islam at a news conference following the shooting and stated the cop "embodies what this city is all about."

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch described Islam as a "hero" who "made the ultimate sacrifice" for the residents of New York City.

Bryan Kohberger was captured on police body cam footage during a routine traffic stop in 2022, just a couple months before he murdered four University of Idaho students ... and he's recorded insisting he's a super honest guy.

New video -- which prosecutors planned to present at trial -- has now been released after Kohberger has already pled guilty to his brutal killings ... and, it starts when a cop stops him for allegedly going 43 mph in an area with a 35 mph speed limit.

The Latah County sheriff's deputy pulls up to the window in the August 2022 stop ... and notices Kohberger isn't wearing his seat belt. He asks if Kohberger was wearing his seat belt while he was driving, and BK admits he wasn't.
