A shooting insider a Columbia, Maryland mall this morning claimed the lives of three people, with the suspect among those dead, according to police. Howard County Police Chief Bill McMahon says the motive of the shooter is unclear, but he opened fire on two individuals inside a second floor store before turning the gun on himself. The identity of the deceased remains unknown at this time. One body was found near a shotgun. “Think about this, on a Saturday afternoon at the mall, how many people may be in there,” McMahon said at a press conference. “Something like this happens and people run in many directions, and they also do what we train them to do — to shelter in place.” CNN, after speaking with a federal official, reports that the incident may have been connected to some kind of domestic dispute. Four shoppers were wounded as a result of the attack (though only one by gunshot) and treated at Howard County General Hospital. All are in good condition. Gunfire broke out in late morning, with a 911 call placed at 11:15 a.m. and the building deemed secure around 1 p.m. Laura McKindles, a mall employee, told CNN affiliate WJLA that she heard eight to 10 gunshots. “I have never experienced anything like this in my life,” she said. “I was standing there talking to a customer and I started hearing all this banging coming from the food court… and people started running and they said somebody’s down there and they got a gun.”

Racist much? Ted Nugent Calls President Obama Racial Slurs Ted Nugent calls President Obama a “subhuman mongrel” and then implies he’s a “chimpanzee” in a new interview. Via Gossip Cop reports: The rocker, reality TV star and amateur political commentator was speaking with Guns.com when he unleashed the inflammatory language. Complaining about the state of the country, Nugent tells his interviewer, “I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America.” Charming. Nugent later says, with reference to the deaths of Americans in Benghazi, Libya in 2012, “I would call it inflammatory speech when it’s your job to protect Americans, and you look into the television camera and say what difference does it make that I failed in my job to provide security and we have four dead Americans.” “What difference does that make? Not to a chimpanzee or to Hillary Clinton, I guess it doesn’t matter,” added the musician. For good measure, he also says that Clinton has “spare scrotums.” Out of all insults why use chimpanzee to describe the president? What a racist and sexist piece of isht!
19-year-old Chicago rapper Lil Bibby is probably the most buzzed about young rapper in the game right now. Thanks largely to the success of his song “Water” off his ‘Free Crack’ mixtape he’s currently on the receiving end of tons of media attention, something he’s struggling to get used to. BOSSIP caught up with him at his Atlanta mixtape release party at Treesound Studios and he opened up about how his newfound success has changed him and how, like the refrain of his popular song, he’s striving to keep his head above water. “I’m kind of forced to talk a lot now with the rapper stuff,” Bibby tells BOSSIP at his Atlanta mixtape release party. “So I’m kind of getting out of that.” As for any pressure he might feel over being dubbed the next to blow, for now he says it’s only made him more focused. “I can’t put out no more regular records, just playing around,” Bibby admits.”I gotta get in the studio and pick up, since the pressure is there to work on them classic-type records.” Whether he’s talking or rapping, the accolades over his voice, which has a particularly deep timbre for such a young man, keep pouring in. There’s also been a lot of discussion about what he looks like. When he’s introduced onstage by Treesound owner/manager Groove Chambers, he’s ribbed about his light skin, light eyes and curly hair — a combination that likely has record execs drooling over his potential to sell to girls in much the same way that certain other rappers have before him. Asked about steering clear of the “lightskinned ni**a” stereotypes, Bibby laughs, “What is the stereotype?” We tell him he’s got the potential to be billed as a sex symbol, that he may be expected to craft music that women will like. “No, I’ma talk about selling drugs,” Bibby laughs. “That’s what I’ma talk about. The girls – man, they like it. I don’t know if they like the music or me. I don’t know what it is, but they like it.” He’s in good company too. While he may be steering clear of light skin stereotypes he has already forged a good relationship with Toronto’s very own sex symbol, Drake and speaks of an upcoming collaboration that could be just what he needs. “Me and Drake may be working in the future,” he confirms. “I talk to him a lot, but you know he be busy. He just got off tour, so hopefully it’ll be soon.” While Lil Bibby has previously worked with fellow Chi-town rappers Chief Keef and Lil Reese, when we ask him how he’ll avoid running into some of the same legal issues that have plagued some of his counterparts he tells us he doesn’t smoke or drink and quickly dismisses any concerns. “I don’t move like that anyway. I try to keep everything legal,” Lil Bibby tells BOSSIP. “I try to dodge those problems so you probably won’t see me on the news doing anything.” At times he seems years older than the baby faced teenager he is, a quality he attributes to his work ethic. “A lot of people say I’m more mature, but I don’t know. I’m kind of a boring person,” Bibby says. “I don’t like to have fun like that. That’s probably why people call me mature, because I just like to work. I’m just working on a single. That’s what I think I need. I need a big single, a breakout single.” It’s definitely coming. Will you be listening???
What a terrible way to loose your life. Woman Posing For Picture Falls To Her Death This is such a tragic accident… According to NBC San Diego: A Chicago woman posing for a picture fell to her death at a popular tourist destination along the coast of San Diego Sunday evening, according to police. Police say 25-year-old Anna Bachman fell between 40 and 50 feet down the coastal cliffs known as Sunset Cliffs west of downtown. Police, firefighters and lifeguards responded to a cliff rescue on Ladera Street and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard around 5:30 p.m. Bystanders, including two nurses, rushed down the cliffs and performed CPR, but were unable to revive Bachman. The graduate student was visiting her sister, who witnessed the accident. At this time, police do not believe alcohol was involved. She had her whole life ahead of her. Facebook
Earlier this week, VIBE unveiled an interview with producer Noah “40″ Shebib, the man responsible for much of Drake’s sound. During the discussion, the Toronto native revealed a few artist he’d like to collaborate with — Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and N.O.R.E…. Continue
Damn… This sounds crazy . According to NewsOk.com reports : Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said he had never heard of “an atomic wedgie,” before suspect Brad Davis told investigators he gave one to his stepfather, Denver Lee St. Clair, on Dec. 21 at St Clair’s home at 4 Shadowlake Drive in Pottawatomie County near McLoud. St. Clair was dead at the scene. Davis is St. Clair’s stepson and lives in the area. “I’d never seen this before, but when we first looked at our victim seeing the waistband of his underwear was around his neck,” Booth said. Booth said Davis told investigators that he went to his stepfather’s residence and his stepfather “jumped him.” St. Clair had a head wound and appeared to have been in a fight. The underwear St. Clair was wearing had been pulled up his back and over his head, leaving the waistband around his neck. Booth said it was the first time he had ever heard of someone being killed by a pair of underwear. The cause of death has been determined to be from blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation. The death has been ruled a homicide, said Amy Elliott, Oklahoma state medical examiner’s spokeswoman. Booth said a full report has been presented to the Pottawatomie County District Attorney’s office where a murder charge is expected to be filed. What kind of drawers was he wearing to have asphyxiated from a wedgie? Dayuuuum! R.I.P. Denver
