Inside Edition for Monday, May 6, 2024

A rush hour horror for commuters in New York City when an assailant detonated smoke bombs on a subway car filled with passengers and then opened fire. At least 16 people were injured, five of them critically. Coming as the city tries to get back to normal post Covid, Les Trent reports, it has deeply shaken individuals' sense of safety and security. And fireworks of a different sort in a Virginia courtroom where actor Johnny Depp is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard, saying she destroyed her career when she falsely accused him of abuse. Plus she's a model who allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death and she hasn't been charged. Her attorney says she acted in self-defense but the victim’s family says they don’t buy it, saying she was the aggressor in an often volatile relationship. And when a little boy ended up choking when he used his teeth to open a water bottle, his teacher knew exactly what to do.

Plus, on The Price is Right, you get to advance on the game show if you have the right price. This guy had the right voice! And, he said he would never sing his father John Lennon's iconic song, but Julian Lennon has just performed 'Imagine' to raise money for those fleeing Ukraine.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s judgment day for Will Smith. Today, the Motion Picture Academy banned the actor from attending any future Oscar events- for the next decade. Jim Moret was outside Oscar headquarters as the punishment came down. And there is a video of a man being shot to death by his ex-wife’s boyfriend… and since the whole thing was caught on tape you would think it would be an open and shut case against the shooter. But he’s not facing any charges… and the dead man’s widow tells Steven Fabian she is heartbroken. Plus, it’s day two for Tiger Woods’ big comeback at the Masters and he struggled a bit compared to day one. Something to be expected considering his car crash injuries… but one of those rooting for Tiger is the sheriff’s deputy who was credited with saving Tiger’s life.
