Two Of Four San Bernadino Shooting Suspects Killed By Police; One Believed To Be Angry Employee Attacking Company Holiday Party

Two San Bernadino Shooters Killed In Police Shootout After the tragic mass shooting at a San Bernadino convention center that left 14 dead and 17 wounded, police took to the streets to chase the suspected shooters down. A live TV shootout occurred, leaving two of the possible four suspects dead, and many unanswered questions of how and why left to piece together. Investigators now believe that an angry employee may have stormed out of a Holiday party being held in the convention center, then returned spray the event with bullets… Via Los Angeles Times : Dressed in black masks and tactical gear, armed with long guns and pistols, they entered a holiday party for county health workers in San Bernardino as it was in full swing. Before they fled, they had killed 14 people and wounded 17 others. Four hours later, as fearful residents were ordered to stay home and scores of officers swarmed the streets, authorities chased a black SUV carrying two suspects from a home in the nearby city of Redlands. As TV news stations broadcast live overhead, the chase spilled back onto San Bernardino’s streets, where authorities and the suspects traded gunfire. When it was over, a man and woman connected to the assault were dead. One body lay in the street, blood pooling. Another was recovered from the vehicle. A police officer also was wounded in the firefight but is expected to survive. The motive for the mass shooting was unclear. A senior federal official monitoring the case said investigators believe one of the shooters left the party, held in a conference room at the Inland Regional Center, after getting into an argument. He returned a short time later with at least one armed companion, and opened fire, the official said. At an evening news conference, San Bernardino police said it was not clear whether the people involved in the dispute were the same people involved in the shooting. Wow…there is definitely much more to this story, and we’re sure it will all unfold in the upcoming days. A third suspect is in custody with a fourth still on the loose… CNN / MailOnline

Robert Durst Talks Love of NFL, Opera in First Letter From Jail

It’s been almost a month since Robert Durst was arrested for the murder of Susan Berman, and if he’s convicted, the millionaire real estate heir could face the death penalty. Durst has been linked to a number of other disappearances , and though he’s beaten murder raps before, the odds seem stacked against him this time, and public opinion is certainly not on his side. So naturally, what’s weighing on Durst’s mind most heavily these days is – you guessed it – pro football and opera. Durst (or someone claiming to be Durst) recently sent a bizarre letter to Los Angeles Times reporter Molly Hennesey Fiske, in which he rambled about everything from LA traffic to a past medical ailment. “My interests are pro football and opera,” Durst writes in childlike, chicken-scratch script. “Your politics and business leaders have chosen to fight rather than agree to disagree and there was no football. “Liked LA opera except for Wagner’s Ring cycle with the absurd costumes and sloped stage, a true example of Hollywood gone berserk.” Durst went on to cover his bases legally by clarifying that the letter says nothing about “charges, crimes or trials.” He then extends an offer for the reporter to visit him when he “get[s] to LA.” The letter is signed simply, “Bob.” Seems harmless, but considering some of the stories about Durst that have emerged in recent weeks, Hennesey-Fiske is probably than a little creeped out by the experience of receiving the letter. Shortly after his arrest, the judge who presided over Durst’s previous murder trial claimed that the 71-year-old left a cat’s head on her doorstep as an act of revenge.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Cops Hunting Hit-And-Run Drivers Who Killed Twin Teens And Friend Halloween Night

People REALLY ain’t isht tho… Police Searching For Men Who Killed 3 In Halloween Hit-And-Run Via NYDailyNews Authorities searched Saturday for the driver and passenger of an SUV who fled the scene after the vehicle struck three teenage girls who were out for a night of trick-or-treating in Southern California. Witnesses said the black Honda was abandoned a short distance from the Santa Ana crosswalk where the 13-year-old girls were hit. On Saturday investigators tracked the SUV to the address where it was registered, but the owner has since moved, Santa Ana police spokesman Anthony Bertagna said. “At this point, we don’t know where the registered owner lives,” Bertagna said. A witness told the Los Angeles Times the girls were wearing costumes with black leggings and dark clothing when they were hit in a crosswalk near an elementary school about 6:45 p.m. Friday. Two of them were declared dead immediately, and a third died as paramedics prepared to take her to a hospital, Orange County fire Capt. Steve Concialdi said. The twin sisters were Lexi and Lexandra Perez, and the third victim was Andrea Gonzalez, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said. The front of the vehicle was heavily damaged, Bertagna said. Authorities are seeking video-surveillance footage from nearby property owners while interviewing witnesses. Investigators also collected evidence from the SUV, including fingerprints and DNA samples, he said. “It was Halloween. There were a lot of people out there,” Bertagna said. “These guys fled this car. Did they call somebody to pick them up? Did they live in the neighborhood? Did they run into a house?” You have to be a real life devil to do some isht like this and drive away. R.I.P. to these young girls. Image via Facebook/CBS

Celebrity Cribs: Take A Look Inside The $4 Million Miami Condo That Drake Sold Heat Baller Mario Chalmers [Photos]

OVO Realty? Via Realtor Opulent. Lavish. Extravagant. These are just a few of the words that come to mind on looking at the condo—the 5,500-square-foot condo—that two-time NBA champion Mario Chalmers has listed for sale in Miami. That’s 5,500 square feet … in a condo. Our brains hurt just thinking about that. (Per the fine folks at the Los Angeles Times, the asking price is $4 million.) This is the world of celebrity real estate, and thus, a world of material excess. The property, which the Miami Heat point guard purchased for $2.4 million from rap superstar Drake back in 2012, has five bedrooms and five full bathrooms—did we mention that this is a condo?—and sits perched high above Biscayne Bay and the emerald-green Atlantic Ocean in the celebrity playground of Miami. Former famous rapper/singer owner aside, this places is flooded with features. Floor-to-ceiling glass around the perimeter of the baller’s home seem to go on endlessly (seriously … the ceilings in here are so high that the photographer couldn’t get the entire view in the pictures). There’s a chef-quality kitchen with all the requisite high-end cooking paraphernalia, a full-service wet bar, a den, a game room with billiards table, two laundry rooms (do celebrities create more dirty laundry than the rest of us?), four parking spaces (natch), and terraces that provide views of the water positively to die for Flip the page to see more pics of how Drake and Mario used to live.
