Weapons & Guns

9:00 AM PT -- Raheem "Fuzz" Thomas is scheduled to make his initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon in Paterson ... and law enforcement sources tell us cops are preparing for the worst. We're told there will be extra patrols outside the courthouse due to worries about rival gang members.

The same guy busted in the Fetty Wap shootout is now charged with jacking his chains -- Raheem Thomas was arrested again Tuesday night.

Cops booked Raheem, aka Fuzz from Muscle Team Entertainment, for armed robbery and gun possession. Our law enforcement sources tell us cops booked him based on seeing video of the robbery where Fetty's jewelry -- including his 1738 chain -- was stolen.

Additionally ... he was all over social media flaunting Fetty's bling.

We're told officers went looking for Fuzz and when they found him he was packing a handgun with hollow point bullets.

He'd already been booked for aggravated assault and gun possession after his initial arrest.

TMZ obtained video from the Paterson, NJ deli right after the robbery went down ... and it shows Fuzz clearly holding a handgun.

Fetty Wap's crew fired off the only bullets that landed in the shootout after he was robbed -- including a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound ... TMZ has learned.

Eyewitnesses at the scene tell us a member of Fetty's crew fired first at Raheem Thomas' crew in retaliation Sunday morning ... and then that same person allegedly accidentally shot himself in the thigh.

We're told the shooting started after Fuzz and his Muscle Team boys followed Fetty and co. into a Paterson, NJ deli, where things got violent fast. Sources say Fuzz pistol whipped someone in Fetty's camp, and then he and his guys robbed Fetty and his crew on the spot.

That's when a second gun was taken out and shots were fired back and forth ... 2 of which landed on 2 of Raheem's guys. At some point after the initial bloodbath ... we're told the original shooter tried escaping and the gun fired in his waistband, striking him in the thigh.

That account roughly matches up with what cops have told us. As we reported ... 2 men were found in the immediate area of the shootout and were transported to hospitals. A 3rd guy thought to be involved checked himself into another hospital soon after.

Raheem's already been booked for gun possession and assault after showing off Fetty's stolen chain on social media -- but it's unclear if he actually fired in the gun battle, despite being seen with a firearm. Prosecutors in court Monday said they did not believe Raheem had personally fired.

Jodie Sweetin's ex-fiance was just arrested for violating an order requiring him to stay clear of her.

Justin Hodak was arrested in Sherman Oaks, CA Monday ... days after she obtained a restraining order.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jodie claims earlier this month they had a nuclear fight, exacerbated by what she says was his anger triggered by steroids and alcohol. She says that's when she ended their engagement.

She says he threatened to kill himself with a 9mm pistol if she made him leave. He left the house with a gun, leaving behind an assault rifle. He also threatened suicide by cop.

Jodie got a restraining order requiring Hodak to stay 100 yards away from her, but Monday Jodie called police and reported a suspicious car in front of her house. When cops arrived they saw Hodak drive by, coming just feet from her home, so they stopped the car and arrested him.

Fetty Wap got robbed early Sunday in his hometown, and it sparked a shootout which sent 3 people to the hospital ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell us Fetty had a chain and cash snatched while he was in Paterson, NJ. Law enforcement sources tell us cops were dispatched to Montclair Ave and Paxton Street around 5 AM over a fight with shots fired. Sure enough, they located 2 guys nearby with gunshot wounds -- 1 was shot in the leg and another in his torso.

A 3rd man thought to be involved checked himself into Hackensack Medical Center soon after. Fetty is not one of the victims.

Law enforcement tells TMZ an investigation is underway into the shooting, but no robbery has been reported. It's unclear whether Fetty was directly involved in the shootout.

Jodie Sweetin called 911 when her now ex-fiance stormed out of their house claiming he wanted to kill himself ... and it led to him going to jail.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Sweetin told them Justin Hodak was out of control after they had a nuclear fight during which she ended the engagement. She said Hodak threatened to kill himself and she was worried he'd make good on his threat.

Cops arrived and spoke with Jodie, who told them he had a gun in one of the bedrooms. Cops retrieved it, ran Hodak's rap sheet and found he was a felon, so possessing a gun was illegal.

We're told Hodak returned home later and cops were waiting. They slapped the cuffs on him and took him to jail.

Hodak bailed out a few hours later.

10:16 AM PT -- Cincinnati police have upped their suspect count to "several" as opposed to one at first. The victim count has also been raised to 16, and the deceased victim has been ID'd as 27-year-old O'Bryan Spikes. Cops have also said this is likely not terrorism related, but rather just a feud between 2 groups that boiled over in the club. No suspects have been named yet.

Law enforcement in Cincinnati is on the hunt for someone who opened fire in a nightclub Sunday morning, killing 1 person ... and leaving 14 others injured.

Police have not released any information as to suspected shooter's identity, and no possible motive has been released either. The shooting took place around 1:30 AM ET at Cameo nightclub.

At first, cops said "multiple shooters" were involved -- but that has since changed to just one suspected shooter.

Several of the victims are in critical condition and undergoing surgery. 2 of those victims have since been released.

Rapper Vic Mensa is facing criminal charges for carrying a loaded gun.

The L.A. County District Attorney's Office is going after Vic for carrying a loaded, unregistered handgun in his car. He'll also be prosecuted for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Worst case scenario if convicted ... 2 years in jail.

The Chicago-bred rapper was arrested last month after cops pulled him over for a traffic violation. He confessed to having a gun in the car, which they promptly seized.

Jaime Pressly lost more than $30k in jewelry when burglars broke into her home over the weekend ... we've learned they also made off with a .38 caliber revolver.

The gun raises the stakes in the latest celebrity break-in. The burglars, who entered by breaking a window, got the gun because they stole the safe in which it was stored. It's unclear if they knew a gun was inside.

This is the second safe that was stolen by a celebrity. Nick Young also lost his safe when he was hit last month.

A man faced off with at least 4 cops outside of Catch Saturday night ... and lost hard when they fired their tasers.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops were called to the famous WeHo restaurant to deal with a man with a possible gun. Things escalated quickly when the suspect didn't follow orders ... so they fired.

It's pretty gnarly -- you can hear the guy screaming out "What did I do?!" before he's taken down. Even crazier ... he's got a dog right next to him that's in the mix of the scuffle.

Donald Trump just called out Snoop over his music video, saying if the person in clown face was President Obama, Mr. Dogg would be behind bars.

Trump just tweeted, "Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!"

We asked that very question to several rappers and politicians ... Ice-T, for e.g., thought doing the same thing to Obama would be worse. Senator Ted Cruz says whoever the president ... it's the same thing.

Ted Cruz is appalled by Snoop or anyone else pretending to assassinate a President of the United States, whoever it is, because of this country's rich, violent history.

We got the Senator on Capitol Hill Tuesday and he was clear ... the notion of advocating the assassination of a president -- even joking about it -- is just plain wrong.

Cruz clearly thinks this is a bigger issue than beef with Trump ... it goes to the foundation of democracy.

Donald Trump's personal lawyer says Snoop crossed the line in a big way by mocking the president with a gun.

Michael Cohen went on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and was indignant over Snoop's "Lavender" video, in which a Trump character in clown face is confronted by Snoop with what turns out to be a gag gun.

Cohen says it doesn't matter who the president is -- Trump, Obama or anyone else -- it's just plain wrong.

Toya Wright says she's relieved that cops finally have a suspect in custody for the shooting deaths of her 2 brothers.

Toya tells TMZ ... "All we want is justice for my brothers .. We thank everyone for their prayers and support."

Antoine Edwards was booked Thursday in New Orleans for second degree murder. According to NOLA.com, cops narrowed it down to Edwards after several tipsters mentioned a man named "Toine" or "Tweezy" was responsible. Edwards had reportedly told at least one person he did it.

Joshua and Ryan "Rudy" Johnson were shot to death last July while in their car. Both died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Waka Flocka Flame is off the hook for packing heat at the Atlanta Airport ... he was just found not guilty.

Flame was busted in 2014 for having a handgun in his carry-on bag ... but claimed he accidentally grabbed his fiancee's bag at home and brought it to the airport in a mix-up.

A jury reportedly agreed it was an accident and only took 30 minutes to acquit the rapper ... as reported by Page Six. Good job attorney Drew Findling.

Still, he should probably double check his luggage every time he flies from now on.

The best $600k Young Dolph ever spent was for his 2 bulletproof vehicles because they saved his life in Charlotte, and he's expecting more threats the richer he gets.

Dolph told us about last month's shooting, where more than 100 bullets were fired into the SUV he was riding into a concert. The rapper walked away unscathed, but when he stopped by "Raq Rants" he had a message for his trigger-happy haters.

He's definitely chill, considering what he survived -- and repeatedly referred to himself, using his alter ego ... Dolph Obama. For real.

Vic Mensa got pulled over for a traffic violation, but ended up spending the night in jail for having a gun in his car with a permit -- the wrong one, allegedly.

The Roc Nation rapper was stopped in Beverly Hills last week for running a stop sign and having tinted windows ... according to law enforcement sources. We're told he informed cops he had a gun in his car and showed them his concealed carry permit. The problem is ... cops say the permit is for another state.

According to the police report ... Vic was arrested and booked on a felony count of carrying a concealed weapon. After one night in jail, he was released on $35,000 bail.
