Alec Baldwin Accidental Shooting on Set, One Person Dead

Alec Baldwin was filming a scene for a movie that required someone to fire a gun loaded with blanks, but when the gun discharged either shrapnel or a bullet hit 2 people on set ... one of whom had to be airlifted to a hospital. Our sources tell us the incident happened Thursday on location in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Alec is filming a new western he's starring in called "Rust" at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, a movie ranch.

Betty Kyallo’s Insight on running a business during the pandemic.

Media personality Betty Kyallo says it has been tough running a business during the Covid-19 pandemic. "I will not want to say that I am doing very well.

Parkland Shooter Nikolas Cruz Deserves Death Penalty, Victims’ Families Say

Nicholas Cruz the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High mass shooter -- doesn't deserve a second chance ... according to his victims' families, who want him sentenced to death. The fathers of 2 of Nikolas' 17 victims tell TMZ ... they're not buying the courtroom apology Cruz offered Wednesday, and they say he shouldn't get another shot as his trial looms.
