Inside Edition for Friday, March 28, 2025

We've learned more about the fifteen-year-old who killed a teacher and student at her school in Madison, Wisconsin -- and her home life was troubled. Her parents married and divorced multiple times, she was a loner -- and -- chillingly, the girl seemed to be fixated on previous school shootings.  And now the incident that still haunts Megan Thee Stallion. Four years ago, a fellow rapper shot her in the feet. He was sentenced to ten years, but she says she still doesn't feel safe. She's requesting a restraining order, saying he's continuing to threaten her and won't stop. Plus, yesterday we reported that the FBI was warning people not to shoot at the drones. And they have another message: Stop aiming laser pointers at the sky because they are blinding pilots.  And what was supposed to be a sweet holiday moment at a Charlotte Hornets basketball game turned out to look awfully grinchy. The mascot, dressed as Santa, gave a 13-year-old a PlayStation - and the crowd loved it. But when they went to a commercial break, they took it back! The Hornets have apologized and said they will make things right for the 13-year-old.

It's being called Santa Street USA - a neighborhood outside San Diego where almost every home has a giant blow up Santa Claus. But now it’s been targeted by a real-life Grinch.  And, the drone mystery remains unsolved - and as we've reported, no matter how unnerved you might be about the sightings, it's illegal to shoot a drone. Now the FBI is chiming in to stress in no uncertain terms - if you see a drone, don’t shoot it. Plus, it’s an indicator of the impact of the United Healthcare killing. Ordinarily, an annual business gathering in New York City would be a non-event, but in the wake of the killing and a hit list that's been circulated, corporate leaders meeting across the street from the murder scene are taking no chances. And the shooting at a Wisconsin school that left three people dead is the 83rd school shooting so far this year. It's a sad sign of the times - but would your child know how to call for help in an emergency? It's estimated more than 26 million children in the U.S. don't know how to call 911.

The frenzy over the apparent drones over New Jersey and elsewhere was unabated over the weekend. Officially the government says it doesn’t know where they're from, but Rosie O’Donnell says she does. She took to social media saying "they're here". To O’Donnell, it’s clear these aren't really drones but aliens from outer space, but is she serious? And the man accused of murdering the CEO of United Healthcare has a new attorney. And before she was retained, she was on tv talking about a possible insanity defense. This comes as President-elect Donald Trump speaks out about the shooting. Plus, the woman who alleges that Jay-Z sexually assaulted her more than twenty years ago when she was 13 is speaking out, admitting there are inconsistencies in her story. And Jay-Z has come out swinging vehemently denying the allegations, filing to dismiss the lawsuit and calling the woman's attorney a '1-800 lawyer.' And last week, President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 1,500 criminals, and one in particular is sparking outrage today - a now-former judge who accepted $2.8 million for jailing 2,300 children - some as young as eight. Now one of the outraged moms is speaking out. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

There are increasing calls for the government to share what they know and what they don’t about the mysterious drones that have been hovering over New Jersey and other parts of the Northeast. One senator is so fed up - he's suggesting they be shot down. And a major development in the case of that formerly missing dad who faked his own death to go overseas to be with a new girlfriend. No surprise: his wife's filed for separation. Plus, corporate CEOs continue to beef up their personal security as threats in the wake of last week’s assassination of the CEO of United Health Care continue. And law enforcement is taking a tough stand against anyone perceived to be making a threat.  And the twins accused of sex crimes were back in court today with one still in an anti-suicide smock. This comes as one of the alleged victims is speaking out -- saying she was attacked at the famed Versace mansion in Miami. And she doesn’t mince words when it comes to the brothers. She calls them 'monsters.' The twins pleaded not guilty today. If convicted, they face 15 years to life in prison.

At first it was kind of interesting, but now it's starting to freak people out. Drones continue to be spotted over New Jersey - and with no explanation, the wild conspiracy theories keep coming. In fact, the Pentagon had to shoot down buzz they were from an Iranian mothership parked off the East Coast. As Les Trent reports, until there's an answer, the hysteria will continue. And you may have heard about that horrible scene at a Christmas parade in Palm Springs, California when a motorcycle cop doing wheelies lost control and plowed into spectators. Ten people were injured including a 12-year-old girl. Now, her outraged parents are speaking with our Jim Moret. The officer involved is in the hospital and has expressed concern for those injured. Meantime, the police chief says he has grounded the entire motorcycle unit during the investigation, adding they will never be popping wheelies at public events again. Plus, we've told you about the surge of support for Luigi Mangione despite the fact he's charged with murdering a healthcare CEO...now it appears he has his fellow prisoners rooting for him. Ann Mercogliano explains. And twin brother realtors accustomed to flashy cars and designer duds are now getting used to prison garb after they, and a brother, were charged with sex trafficking going back 15 years. Today the twins were in court for a hearing, with one trying to get released on bail because his wife is pregnant. An attorney for twin, Alon Alexander, tells us he will enter a not guilty plea.

One week after the brazen shooting of that United Healthcare CEO, the NYPD is warning companies to enhance security for executives after the discovery of an online hitlist with names and salaries of CEOs, while 'wanted' posters of corporate executives have started to pop up around Manhattan. And, the Wisconsin father of three who went missing after faking his own death is now under arrest. Four months after he fled overseas reportedly to be with a new girlfriend, he returned to his hometown and turned himself in. Plus, how do you deal with a situation where your adult son has apparently moved on from his fiancée and taken up with a new gal? Well, if you're President-elect Donald Trump, you appoint the jilted fiancée ambassador of Greece. The appointment may be a convenient way to avoid what could have been a romantic mess. And there's lots of talk about Beyonce and Jay-Z's eldest daughter Blue Ivy after she joined her parents at the premiere of the Lion King prequel. She voices a character in the movie, but it's the 12-year-old's designer gown that's causing a bit of a stir.

Drama today as the 26-year-old suspect charged with assassinating the healthcare CEO was being brought into an extradition hearing in Pennsylvania. As cops escorted Luigi Mangione in handcuffs, he had an outburst, screaming about his arrest being unjust. And Mangione does not fit the typical profile of a killer. He comes from a well-connected family and was a popular, athletic fraternity brother. But in the months leading up to the shooting, he went off the grid. In fact, right before Thanksgiving his family sent him an email asking if he was ok. Plus, just hours after rapper Jay-Z hit back over an allegation in a civil lawsuit that he had raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000, which he strongly denies, he was on the red carpet with his family sending a message loud and clear. And he mystery over those drones hovering over New Jersey is building. We're now learning they aren't those little hobbyist drones; they are actually the size of small cars and have sophisticated technology. So, who is sending them up and what are they for?

The man the whole country has been looking for may finally be in custody. Six days after the United Healthcare CEO was gunned down by an assassin in New York, police have arrested a 26-year-old man in Pennsylvania- all thanks to a McDonald’s employee who called 9-1-1. Cops say  the suspect was carrying a two-page manifesto railing against the healthcare industry. And a verdict is in, in the trial of the marine veteran who put a man in a chokehold on a New York subway leading to his death. He claimed he was trying to protect himself and other commuters and today the jury agreed, finding him not guilty. There were strong emotions on both sides leading to chaos outside the courthouse. Plus, world leaders attended the reopening of the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and among the images making jaws drop around the world is President-elect Trump sitting side by side with first lady Jill Biden. And as you can imagine, social media is having a field day! And rapper Jay-Z is coming out swinging today over an allegation in a civil lawsuit that he and Sean Diddy Combs raped a 13-year-old girl after the Video Music Awards in 2000. He and Combs deny the allegations. Jay-Z also claims “blackmail,” but the biggest heartbreak, he says, is for his family, including his wife Beyonce and their eldest daughter, 12-year-old Blue Ivy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
