Inside Edition for Monday, February 17, 2025

First it was the wrong house...then the wrong driveway. Now all it took to get shot was going to the wrong car. Two cheerleaders ended up being shot in a grocery store parking lot after one mistakenly opened someone else's car door. One teen was so seriously injured she had to be medevacked to a hospital. And on the very same day we are learning of the cheerleader being seriously wounded, the two suspects in the other shootings shocking America appeared in court. Including the man charged with killing a young woman who accidentally drove onto his property. Now her boyfriend is speaking out about the terrifying moment shots rang out. Plus, after that four-story garage collapse here in New York that left one person dead…not only did humans rush to help, but this robo-dog, too! The high-tech pooches are replacing real Dalmatians that have been a staple at firehouses for generations. In fact, Les Trent found one of the last-real fire Dalmatians working in New York. And you can't see them, but underneath the melee is a couple who found themselves randomly attacked on the streets of Chicago. They had just finished shopping and were looking for a place to eat when they say they were swarmed by a mob of out of control teens.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We're learning more about the man charged with shooting the 16-year-old boy who rang his doorbell by mistake. His name is Andrew Lester…and he's an 84-year-old former technician for American West Airlines who also has a hunting license. Now he's surrendered to police to face serious charges. And we’ve all been there…lost while driving and pulling into someone's driveway by accident. Well, that ended up being a deadly move for a young woman who authorities say was shot by a homeowner whose long winding driveway she and her friends drove onto by mistake. Plus, a woman who's five months pregnant was traveling with her two young children when they made a mess with their popcorn on the floor of the cabin...so who's job is it to clean it up? The airline or the pregnant woman? As Jim Moret reports, that's the debate brewing over what's being called popcorn gate. And a woman put her heart and soul into rehabbing the house but before she could sell it, she tells Ann Mercogliano squatters moved in and trashed the place.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The whole nation is rooting for a 16-year-old boy who was shot in the head by an 84-year-old man, when he accidentally went to the wrong home, while trying to pick up his two younger brothers. Protests have erupted as big names, including Halle Berry and Viola Davis are demanding justice. Another terrible case of going to the wrong address. It's video shocking everyone who sees it...police fatally shooting a man when they were supposed to be at the house across the street. They realized their mistake - but at that very moment, the homeowner appeared at the door with a gun and the officers opened fire. And a pizza delivery guy found himself right in the middle of a police chase. And when the suspect ran past him what did he do? He stuck out his foot and tripped him! As Les Trent reports, he did all that crime fighting without dropping the pie! Plus, it's the widely popular Netflix dating show Love is Blind - where strangers fall in love but don't meet until they're engaged. However, fans awaiting the big live reunion special last night were really disappointed. When they tuned in - they saw an announcement that the show was delayed for technical issues. So did it really break the internet? And he's a snake lover who also breeds them as a business…so when a certain species of pythons became illegal he allowed wildlife officials to come and euthanize almost three dozen pythons. However, in the confusion they also killed a beloved pet boa constrictor - which also happened to be pregnant.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The 21-year-old Air National Guard accused of leaking government secrets was in federal court today. Officials had been watching his rants online for some time in a chat room where he was known as “Jack the Dripper.” Although President Biden has said the leaked documents are not of great consequence - it’s still raising serious questions about our national security. And It was crazy scene on a highway as a guy threw $200,000 worth of cash out the car window. He said he wanted to help people in need. It was his money…but the other family members who were on the joint account from which the cash came, now say they are the ones in need. Plus, we've heard a lot about artificial intelligence lately…and the growing concerns that AI can be mis-used. Here’s a stunning example. A mom received a heart stopping call…her daughter had been kidnapped and she heard her daughter calling for help. However, it wasn't really her. As Inside Edition found out, faking someone's voice is incredibly easy! And at 81, Ann-Margret is going strong. Jim Moret visited her Beverly Hills home.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

They are classified documents that contain a massive number of government secrets...and in recent weeks, they've been leaked to the public. Now authorities have arrested this man...an Air National Guardsman who they suspect is behind it. He's described as a gun loving gamer, and as les Trent reports, even his mother is saying he needs a lawyer. And the plastic surgeon charged with murder. He was performing a breast augmentation on a woman when she went into cardiac arrest. However, rather than immediately call 911, prosecutors allege he waited three hours while he saw other patients. She was later taken to the hospital, intubated, placed in the intensive care unit but never woke up and died more than six weeks later. The doctor has pled not guilty. Plus an arrest in the murder of the founder of Cash App. And the suspect in the killing is another tech executive. The murder of Bob Lee was cited as an example of San Francisco’s rampant crime. But it now appears the stabbing may have been personal. And it's the sad story of a girl who was raising a goat that was sold at auction, and later slaughtered. However, there's more to the story. The child was in a 4-H program, and from the get-go, it was clear what would happen to the goat. But then she fell in love with it.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We're learning new details about the gunman who used an AR-15 to mow down five colleagues at their morning meeting inside a bank in Louisville. Connor Sturgeon bought the rifle legally just last week. And under Kentucky law, the mayor of Louisville, himself a shooting victim - says that weapon will be sold at auction and be back on the street. And if there is a profile of a typical shooter, the 25-year-old gunman in the bank massacre doesn’t seem to fit it. He comes from an intact family, graduated college and was a standout athlete in high school. But he sustained so many concussions in sports that he joked about it. Might that have been a factor? Plus, Taylor Swift clearly isn't sitting home brooding about her latest breakup. And more bad news out of San Francisco. In the wake of the fatal stabbing of the founder of Cash App, the city's flagship Whole Foods supermarket is shutting its doors just one year after opening...citing out of control crime as the reason.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Another mass shooting - this time it was inside a bank. Cops were there in just three minutes but that's all the time it took for a man in his 20's, who'd been a portfolio manager at the bank, to open fire killing four people, and wounding at least eight. Shortly after the shootings, a tearful governor of Kentucky said that was his bank and that two of the dead were close friends while a third person he knew was fighting for their life. And, imagine looking out the window to not only see your car being hooked to a tow truck, but the driver appearing to take your stuff inside the vehicle. This lady couldn't believe it but luckily, she filmed it all with her phone. She spoke with Ann Mercogliano. Plus, Melania Trump has stayed out of sight since her husband's indictment. But Easter Sunday, there she was at brunch at Mar-a-lago. And, the revelation that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted multiple unreported luxury vacations and gifts has put an uncomfortable spotlight on his benefactor. He's a wealthy conservative real estate developer who also happens to be a collector of Nazi memorabilia.
