Even though the Honolulu Medical Examiner has determined that Southwest Airlines attendant Jenny Lupton died by suicide after falling from her 24th floor balcony, the homicide division of the Honolulu police department continues to investigate her death.  Lupton’s family has plenty of reasons to believe the 50-year-old mom would never take her own life, including her final text moments before her death to a friend: “What are we doing tomorrow?” Lupton’s family maintains the medical examiner acknowledged he’s open to changing his suicide finding if police present evidence supporting foul play.

It was not the interview most people were expecting to see on Fox News: Sean Hannity asking tough questions, complete with follow ups for 41-year old Katie Zacharia. The newly installed and immediately embattled press secretary was trying to clear up questions and confusion over her qualifications to refer to herself as a lawyer. It took several attempts by Hannity to get Zacharia to admit she never took the bar again after failing it the first time. At one point, Hannity asked her a question many of us have been asking: “Why didn’t you just say, ‘I never practiced law?'” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than four years after a barrel containing human remains was found at Lake Mead, investigators have identified the victim as Edward “Buddy” Jackson. Police say Jackson was shot once in the head and was believed to be in his mid to late 50s at the time of his murder.

A 16-year-old Bend, Oregon resident shot through locked doors at an Oregon elementary school, and then shot and killed three children, ages 5, 8, and 11 along with a teacher. Remarkably, an armed community member saw the teen enter Silver Rail Elementary School with a long rifle and pursued him inside the school and shot him dead before police arrived. Another teacher and a 7-year-old student were critically injured and are currently in the hospital. Police say the heroic bystander saved countless lives, and credit him, along with a new classroom door lock system from keeping dozens of children and teachers safe.

**UPDATE Since this episode was recorded, TMZ says prison officials have pushed back on the reports that Diddy's injury was a result of the fight with Christopher Coke.  Though, they don't explain how Diddy was injury.** ================================ The head injury that landed Sean “Diddy” Combs in the hospital reportedly came from a fight with a fellow inmate, but not just any inmate.  Diddy reportedly got a beatdown from notorious Jamaican drug lord Christopher “Dudus” Coke who has an entire Netflix episode devoted to him and his life of crime.  The fight apparently broke out because Coke, along with several other inmates, were angry after prison officials conducted several raids following the NBC report exposing Diddy’s privileged prison life.

Orlando police have arrested and charged 55-year-old Dale Smith Jr with second degree murder, 15 years after his ex-fiancé Michelle Parker disappeared. Parker was last seen on November 17th, 2011, the very day the couple was featured on ‘The People’s Court,' arguing over a $5,000 engagement ring. Parker dropped off their then three-year-old twins at Smith’s home, and has never been seen again; her body has never been found. While Smith maintains his innocence, police say advances in digital forensics led to additional evidence, paving the way for the arrest they’ve wanted to make for more than a decade.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia took the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine Law School, but did not pass. This, after the New York Times was able to briefly talk to Zacharia on the phone where she claimed she couldn’t hear when a reporter asked her in what state she passed the bar. Instead, she said she assumed she was asked where she went after graduating law school…. And that’s why she replied “When I was in China?” Zacharia also went on to say the president of her law school told her she could call herself a “lawyer” but she could not refer to herself as an “attorney.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A left leaning non-profit, The Campaign for Accountability, has officially filed a complaint with the California State Bar Association, asking for an investigation into White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia’s claims that she is a lawyer. To date, there is no evidence that Zacharia is licensed to practice law in any state, yet Zacharia has repeatedly stated in more than a dozen TV appearances that she is a lawyer. The watchdog group is asking the state bar association to refer Zacharia to state prosecutors, where she could be face a misdemeanor, “punishable by up to one year in a county jail or by a fine of up to $1,000” or both.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Brooklyn store targeted by Kelly Clarkson’s social media posts - describing a rude and offensive employee who refused to sell her an automaton bird - says the backlash is getting scary. Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin says they are receiving threatening phone calls amid an onslaught of negative reviews, saying “we are afraid for the safety of our shopkeepers.” Rubin described Clarkson’s post as “social warfare," as the surveillance footage of the interaction between Clarkson and the employee was released.  While there’s no audio of the incident, we go over our impressions of what happened in less than 5 minutes that escalated into the controversy that is still raging on today.

A disturbing story out of the Pocono Mountains; police say a 27-year-old woman stabbed her 3-year-old son and her husband to death while they were staying at the Great Wolf Lodge in the Pocono Mountains. Metallica Harrison has been charged with two counts of murder after she called 9-1-1 to tell the dispatcher she “needed help dying” and that her husband and son were “already gone.” The family had been on an extended vacation at the resort and while police have no known motive in this case, what Harrison said after they arrived, sounded eerliy similar to the Lindsay Clancy case.

President Trump posted a string of bizarre, and at times offensive, posts over the past several hours.  He first reposted video of a 23-year-old British man mauled to death over the weekend by a tiger after entering the animal’s zoo enclosure. Then, Trump posted an AI video of himself, in the exact same position as the man, but in his video, Trump wins a wrestling match with the same tiger. Trump also posted another video clip of big cats mauling people, without a caption or an explanation.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
