Shootings

The 21-year-old gunman killed by Secret Service agents outside the White House reportedly had a history of troubling encounters with law enforcement before the deadly shootout Saturday.

According to CNN, Nasire Best had multiple previous run-ins with the Secret Service, including one incident where he was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital after allegedly blocking vehicle entry to part of the White House in 2025.

Court records, cited by the outlet, say Best was stopped again weeks later after allegedly walking into a restricted area outside the White House, where he reportedly told officers he was Jesus Christ and wanted to be arrested.

Two teenagers are suspected of shooting up the San Diego Islamic Center, killing three before taking their own lives, and cops say one of the boys' mothers told them he was suicidal and her guns and car were missing hours before the attack.

Cops say they were interviewing the mother and searching for the teen when the first shots rang out Monday at San Diego's largest mosque.

Jeffrey Scott Towers is charged in the shooting death of Whitney Harlow Robeson, who graduated last year from Auburn University. His attorneys say he's an "upstanding" man who is not guilty of a crime ... but the lawyer for Whitney's family begs to differ.

Andrew J. Moak tells TMZ ... "The Jefferson County District Attorney's Office determined that Mr. Towers acted with criminal recklessness. Given that determination, efforts to portray Mr. Towers as 'innocent' are not supported by the evidence in this case."

Chud the Builder's going to need some serious dough to get himself out of jail before his attempted murder trial ... because a judge just set his bail at $1.25 million.

The controversial streamer was in a Tennessee courtroom Friday morning for a hearing when the judge set the price ... and, if you watch Chud's reaction, you can tell it's not the outcome he wanted. Check out the clip recorded by Nashville's WKRN-TV.

Chud -- legal name Dalton Eatherly -- closes his eyes and drops his head just a bit ... clear signs he's disappointed.

The alleged victim who cops say was shot by Chud the Builder looked upright and alert in a video taken right after the incident went down yesterday.

The alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner gunman is claiming he's innocent ... pleading not guilty Monday morning to charges tied to the terrifying D.C. shooting incident that sent President Donald Trump and other top officials scrambling for safety last month.

Cole Allen appeared in federal court and pleaded not guilty to all charges stemming from the April 25 chaos at the Washington Hilton Hotel ... where prosecutors say he stormed a security checkpoint armed with multiple guns, knives and extra ammunition near the high-profile event.

A grand jury indicted Allen on charges of attempting to kill the president, assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon, and weapons counts, according to NewsNation. His federal public defender spoke on his behalf, saying he "pleads not guilty to all four counts as charged," NBC News reports.

According to officials, the 31-year-old exchanged gunfire with a U.S. Secret Service officer after allegedly rushing the checkpoint. The agent was shot once in the chest but survived thanks to a ballistic vest and was later released from the hospital. Allen was not hit during the exchange.

The man accused of shooting up the White House Correspondents' Dinner wants some top government lawyers cut from the case ... arguing there's a conflict of interest because they were at the event and among those allegedly targeted.

Attorneys for Cole Allen submitted a motion Thursday night asking the judge to disqualify U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche because they're "purported victims and witnesses in this case." The motion cites Justice Department rules advising employees to recuse themselves from criminal investigations where they may have a conflict of interest.

His legal team further argues Pirro and Blanche have a personal relationship with President Donald Trump and have made numerous media appearances -- such as a CNN interview by Pirro -- and social media posts about being at the shooting, exemplifying a personal interest.

Oz the Mentalist had a hunch White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would name her child Viviana ... and he was very close to being right!!!

Footage from just before the shooting shows Oz entertaining President Donald Trump, Melania and Karoline ... and he shows Karoline a piece of paper with what looks like "Viviane" scribbled on the page. He spoke to Jonathan Karl after the event and said he predicted "Viviane."

The man accused of trying to kill President Donald Trump just got something unexpected in court -- an apology.

Yeah, you read that right … a federal judge is sticking up for the alleged would-be assassin and blasting jail officials over how he's been treated behind bars.

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui didn't hold back Monday ... telling the court he was "disturbed" by the conditions faced by Cole Allen -- the 31-year-old accused of trying to infiltrate the White House Correspondents' Dinner to take out Trump and other top officials.

The man who was arrested after a shooting outside Chris Brown's Los Angeles home has been fired from his position on the singer's security detail ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... cops responded Friday to a shooting outside Chris' Tarzana property, where a man was taken into custody following a confrontation with a woman. Now we're told that person was on Chris' security staff.

Law enforcement sources tell us the man worked security for Chris and was stationed at the home when the situation unfolded, but we're told he's no longer part of the team following the incident.

An hours-long standoff finally came to an end early Monday morning when a man wanted for attempted murder of a cop was taken into custody following a SWAT team response ... hours after releasing a hostage from his truck.

Watch the video ... police say the standoff started when the suspect refused to get out of his truck Sunday afternoon ... hours after a traffic stop led to a deputy being clipped by a vehicle very early Sunday morning. And the suspect was holding a woman hostage inside the truck.

A SWAT team later responded, and the standoff lasted almost all night ... and you can see cops were shooting off flash-bangs.

The whole thing began around 3 AM Sunday morning ... a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy tried to detain a man during a traffic stop in an area of south L.A. ... that's when the unidentified man took off in his pickup truck and allegedly struck the deputy.

That prompted a warrant for attempted murder ... the deputy sustained minor injuries but was not hospitalized, according to ABC7.

Cole Allen -- the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect -- has asked a judge to remove the suicide precautions currently in place ... claiming they're a violation of his rights.

Allen's lawyers say that while he was being booked into the D.C. Jail on Monday, members of the Department of Correction intake team didn't note any suicide risk factors.

Despite this, Allen's team claims "suicide precautions" were recommended ... and he was assigned to a "safe cell."

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is pulling back the curtain on a chilling alleged assassination attempt -- and she says the video leaves little room for doubt.

Pirro announced Thursday her office has released footage already submitted in federal court that appears to show suspect Cole Allen shooting a U.S. Secret Service officer during what authorities believe was an attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Check it out … according to Pirro, the video doesn’t support any claims of confusion in the chaos -- she says there's "no evidence" the gunfire was the result of friendly fire, dispelling rumors on the contrary.

Jimmy Kimmel is in the middle of another political dustup after a joke he made about President Trump ... but one person is in the talk show host's corner -- and it's somewhat surprising.

Adam Carolla defended Kimmel on a recent episode of his self-titled podcast ... saying Kimmel wasn't out of line with the joke he's being hammered for by the White House and MAGA after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Adam said of the now infamous first lady "widow" joke ... “That’s a pretty typical roast joke. It is also a trope: Any younger, beautiful woman who’s married to an older guy, especially if the guy’s rumored to be sort of a douchey, you would make that joke at any roast.”
