It was a terrifying hostage situation in Los Angeles. Police say a man with a gun shot a fellow passenger on a city bus, then puts the gun to the bus driver's head and tells him to drive. The driver was able to trigger an alarm to alert the cops. As Jim Moret reports, what followed was a high stakes chase that lasted one hour before it ended. And ear piercing screams were heard from a woman trying to save her dog from a vicious coyote attack in broad daylight. It's not just any pet lover, it’s the wife of rocker Tommy Lee. Plus, Donald Trump is continuing his war with the late night comics - saying at a rally he would like to bring back Johnny Carson. As Ann Mercogliano reports, perhaps the former president has forgotten Carson often made Trump the butt of his jokes.  And lots of questions about the book that's currently an Amazon best seller. It's billed as a memoir from Sean “Diddy' combs ex-partner. She died of pneumonia several years ago, and now the couple's children are saying the book's a fake. Megan Alexander put the author on the hot seat.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Football season has gotten off to a horrible start for Kansas City star Travis Kelce. The tight end still hasn't scored a touchdown, and so far he's caught only eight passes for 69 yards this season. Critics say he's been distracted by his off the gridiron product pitching, acting career, and his girlfriend. And shocking news from former NFL great Brett Favre. The former Green Bay quarterback was on Capitol Hill today and revealed he has Parkinson’s disease. At a hearing, the 54-year-old Hall of Famer said he lost money investing in a concussion drug. Favre estimates he had hundreds, maybe thousands of concussions during his career - which he believes may have played a role in his diagnosis. Plus, are bears getting smarter? We've seen a lot of run in with bears, and recently we showed you a bear that opened a car door, got in, and shut it behind him! Why are bears getting so brazen? One expert believes they're addicted to sugar. And having a new baby is expensive. Between the cost of diapers and formula and everything else, it can be as much as $800 a month for some families. Which is why a group of moms has been very quietly leaving cash and gift cards just where new parents might find them.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
