Weapons & Guns

Alec Baldwin contemplated suicide after the "Rust" shooting and would change places with Halyna Hutchins in a second ... so says his wife, Hilaria.

In the second episode of the Baldwin family's new reality show, Hilaria reveals how Alec talked about wanting to kill himself in the days after Halyna was fatally shot on set in 2021.

Alec was the one who pulled the trigger of the gun that killed Halyna, and Hilaria says her husband still struggles with survivor's guilt.

The man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his January 6 crimes was caught on camera threatening to shoot himself after getting into a heated altercation with a sheriff's deputy who ended up firing several rounds, killing the man.

Check out the video ... the incident went down on January 26 when Matthew Huttle was pulled over by a deputy in Jasper County, Indiana, for going 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, according to law enforcement.

The Jasper County Sheriff's deputy gets out of his patrol vehicle and approaches Huttle, who emerges from his SUV. The deputy explains to Huttle that he's a "habitual traffic violator with a suspended license" and is going to be arrested after his speeding infraction.

The Island Boys had trouble brewing long before Franky Venegas ended up in the slammer over the weekend on gun and drug charges ... cause TMZ's learned the twins officially called it quits a while ago.

Alex, AKA FlyySoulja -- Franky's twin brother and the other half of the Island Boys -- tells TMZ ... the duo has been officially dunzo for a long time after not seeing eye to eye for some time. In fact, Franky officially packed his bags and dipped out of their shared Florida home over a year ago.

Flyy tells us he and his brother were constantly butting heads and having intense arguments. Flyy says his path is drastically different from his brother's, and he doesn't vibe with Franky's lifestyle as of now.

Disturbing body cam footage shows the moment a police officer fatally shot a 16-year-old boy fleeing from a gun-wielding youth at a California train station.

Treach isn't an expert on Tupac Shakur's ongoing murder trial involving Keefe D ...but he's still mourning the late rap legend until the day he dies!!!

The Naughty By Nature frontman was out in Hollywood this week hanging with his longtime bud, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.'s OG Kobra, and chopped it up with TMZ Hip Hop about the latest delay in the 27-year-old hip hop murder.

Keefe D's trial was pushed back to 2026 this week after proceedings were originally supposed to happen in March.

Elon Musk is ready to cut through all the red tape in Washington, D.C. ... and even the red tree trunks too -- 'cause he brought a chainsaw out onstage at CPAC!

The tech mogul and head of the Department of Government Efficiency attended the Conservative Political Action Conference in D.C. -- a pep rally for the conservative base of the Republican party held every year in February.

Musk made a surprise appearance at the event ... and, during the show, President of Argentina Javier Milei presented Musk with a new toy -- a chainsaw with a silver blade and writing engraved on the side.

A$AP Relli broke his silence for the first time since his ex-pal A$AP Rocky was found not guilty Tuesday ... by posting an IG story and telling his haters to shove it!!!

There's a push for the D.A. to go after Relli for alleged perjury after his testimony was rejected by the jury -- but he says he's not bothered!!!

"Gossiping is a form of entertainment for people who have no meaningful goals or purpose in life, hate me, bring shame to my name, say bad things about me, I don't care. Your existence doesn't add any value in my life." 🙏🏾

A$AP Rocky dodged a guilty verdict this week, but one juror isn’t personally letting him off that easy -- saying she believes a crime may have been committed, but other factors kept him from being convicted.

Freelance journalist Nique Laclaire spoke with a juror after Rocky’s not-guilty verdict Tuesday, and the woman revealed some jurors -- made up of 7 women and 5 men -- did believe the alleged prop gun was actually a real firearm ... but "Unfortunately they didn't have enough evidence to convict on the charges that were handed down to us."

The juror said it was "kind of a little mysterious the way it disappeared and they couldn't produce it as evidence."

A$AP Rocky went out to celebrate his big legal win last night with his partner and baby mama Rihanna, going straight from the drab courtroom to a fancy dining room.

Photogs caught up with Rocky and Rihanna outside the restaurant Gravitas in Beverly Hills Tuesday night, hours after a jury acquitted the rapper on two felony charges of assault with a semiautomatic weapon ... and the couple was all smiles.

Rocky was clearly feeling the weight lifted off his shoulders, thanking bystanders with genuine emotion who congratulated him on his legal victory. Asked how he felt now it's all over, he said ... "Amazing."

6:05 PM PT -- Rihanna just reacted to Rocky's verdict on Instagram writing ... "The glory belongs to God and God alone!

She added ... "Thankful, humbled by his mercy!"

The verdict in A$AP Rocky's assault trial was just announced -- Rocky has been found not guilty.

Rocky's partner and mother of his two sons, Rihanna, was sobbing, and gave Rocky's defense attorney, Joe Tacopina, a big hug. As the jurors exited one by one, Rocky said to them ... "Thank you for saving my life."

Outside the courtroom, Rocky thanked God and the jury for allowing him to be a free man ... telling reporters and fans he was happy to put the legal saga behind him.

Rihanna was there by Rocky's side, just as she was in court ... when he jumped into the gallery to hug her after the verdict was read. Rihanna did not talk to reporters and after some brief comments from Rocky, the couple meandered through a throng of reporters and escaped in their black SUV.

Joe held court after his client left and ripped the prosecution and its star witness A$AP Relli ... saying Relli, not Rocky, is the real criminal here ... claiming Relli perjured himself multiple times during the trial and urging the D.A. to go after Relli next.

Tacopina said he was happy for Rocky, RiRi and their two kids ... relaying the family is ready to move on from the trial.

The Los Angeles jury began deliberations Tuesday morning after closing arguments were completed Friday afternoon ... the rapper was charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and Rocky would have faced a possible 24-year prison sentence if he were found guilty.

A$AP Rocky -- legal name Rakim Mayers -- was arrested in 2022, accused of firing a gun at former associate and friend A$AP Relli outside a hotel in Hollywood in 2021. Rocky turned down a plea deal from prosecutors last month.

Rocky's defense attorney, Joe Tacopina, maintained his client could not have shot Relli -- legal name Terell Ephron -- because Rocky only carried a prop gun with him at the time. Relli testified his knuckles were scraped by a bullet.

Relli's testimony got heated at times ... with fireworks popping off between himself and Tacopina.

Rocky chose not to testify ... though his voice was heard in court when he yelled at his pal A$AP Twelvyy "Don't say!!!" when prosecutors asked him on the stand what "AWGE" stands for. AWGE is the name of Rocky's creative agency with "Fight Club"-level secrecy rules attached to it.

Rihanna played a background role in the proceedings -- prospective jurors were asked during the selection process whether they'd heard of A$AP or Rihanna, listened to their music, or downloaded any of their songs. A jury of seven women and five men were selected ... none of them Black.

If there was any doubt Rihanna was ride or die for A$AP Rocky amid his ongoing assault trial ... she made it quite clear with a Valentine's post Friday night.

RiRi shared a PDA and loved-up tribute to her bae via several snaps and video with the caption ... "Get u a valentine that still writes love letters 😉💌."

Most of the tribute was of the long-time couple holding hands and goofing around in Paris ... including them smooching in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Luigi Mangione is making his first public comments since being arrested and charged in the Brian Thompson murder case ... and he's taking a page from Justin Baldoni's playbook.

Luigi released a statement Friday on a new website dedicated to his defense.

Mangione says, "I am overwhelmed by -- and grateful for -- everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe."

A$AP Rocky would get knocked out if he went toe-to-toe with A$AP Relli ... but, he can't touch him 'cause Rocky's a powerful dude -- so, says the prosecutor in the case.

John Lewin -- the deputy district attorney who famously won a conviction against real estate mogul Robert Durst -- spoke to the jury during the rebuttal to Rocky's lawyer Joe Tacopina's closing argument.

Lewin started off his rebuttal by saying Rocky was embarrassed that he got caught talking behind Relli's back ... a look Lewin says isn't very manly.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl celebration took a tragic turn Friday ... cops say two people were injured by gunfire while enjoying the parade.

The Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement to TMZ Sports a 27-year-old woman and a 20-year-old woman were both shot in the lower body at around 2:35 PM -- just a few blocks from where Eagles players addressed the thousands that had gathered to soak in the team's Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs.

Cops tell us both victims were transported to a nearby hospital ... where, thankfully, they're now in stable condition.

A$AP Rocky is saving his words for his next album or potential victory speech -- he won't be testifying in his assault trial!!!

On Tuesday, Rocky waived his right to testify when the judge asked his attorney Joe Tacopina if they had finalized a decision, after deliberating over it earlier this week.

It was a busy and important day and Rocky was looking dapper but hurried in the court, causing an iPhone to be faceplanted in the process.

Two vehicles got into a scary road rage incident in which fireworks were launched from a truck's window at a car — and police are now looking for the culprits.

Dashcam video captured the wild scene in Washington state's Kitsap County on February 1, and it shows a Dodge pick-up truck pursuing the car as they barrel down a street.

The dashcam, affixed to the car driven by a woman, filmed the truck with a person behind the wheel and a passenger as they were traveling just ahead.
