Tupac Shakur Se venden sus identificaciones en la cárcel

Dos infames fotos del pasado de Tupac Shakur tienen ahora un precio, y alguna persona con un montón de dinero podría quedarse con sus credenciales en la cárcel, de su tiempo tras las rejas.

La gran venta se está llevando a cabo en Momentsintime.com. Uno de los artículos es una foto inédita de cuando cumplió condena en Clinton Correctional Facility en Nueva York en 1995.

Nos dicen que podría venderse en $35k en el sitio, lo que es nada en comparación con su identificación de prisión.

El ID de Tupac está listado por la suculenta suma de $75.000, y corresponde al ID de reemplazo luego de que perdiera su tarjeta original.

El futuro comprador también podrá obtener el formulario que tuvo que llenar Tupac al solicitar el reemplazo, que tiene su firma y una nota que simplemente dice: "He perdido mi ID y necesito uno nuevo. Gracias".

Nos dicen que el ID y las fotos se las dio un miembro de la familia una vez que Pac salió de la cárcel, y se estuvo en manos de la familia por años antes de terminar en poder de un coleccionista privado.

Como recordarán, Tupac cumplió 9 meses de condena por abuso sexual en 1995. Su primera identificación en prisión fue subastada allá por 2019, alcanzando los 30.000 dólares tras una puja inicial de 2.000 dólares.

Vale la pena mencionar que su caso por asesinato se está reabriendo, con el reciente arresto de su presunto asesino, Keefe D, lo que podría significar que estos artículos estén más populares que nunca. Así que, si estás interesado, mejor actúa rápido.

Elon Musk Offering Starlink Help in Gaza ... Israeli Govt. Objects

update

3:27 PM PT -- The State of Israel is fuming over Elon's pledge to help Gaza -- with its Minister of Communications saying his attempt to intervene is only going to bolster terrorists.

Shlomo Karhi took to Twitter to write, "Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this.  HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS."

He adds, "Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people. All of them!  By then, my office will cut any ties with starlink."

Elon, meanwhile, has responded ... "We are not so naive.   Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza.   If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons.  Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli governments before turning on even a single terminal."

Elon Musk is coming to the rescue in Gaza -- which is currently being infiltrated by Israel ... and which is effectively cut off from the world in terms of communication and connection.

The multibillionaire tech boss announced this weekend that he'd be lending his Starlink satellite services to people on the ground there ... which will provide Internet access amid a blackout in the area as Israeli forces move in amid their delayed ground operation.

Elon actually broke the news in response to one of his famed foes, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- who was decrying the fact that Israel had made Gaza go totally dark overnight.

Seemingly unprovoked, EM responded directly to the NY congresswoman, writing ... "Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza." He went on to reiterate this with others, highlighting the UN as one of the orgs that'd get connected.

Of course, his specificity here speaks to the fact that Hamas terrorists are still all throughout Gaza -- which is who the Israelis are attempting to root out and eradicate ... despite an overwhelming call for a ceasefire worldwide, which has erupted into pro-Palestine protests.

In trying to find the ones responsible for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel -- which claimed more than 1,400 innocent lives -- thousands of Palestinians have been killed in retaliation.

The war has become incredibly polarizing, especially here in the States ... but Elon's stepping up and seemingly showing some compassion for Palestinians caught in the middle of this.

Aaron Carter Son Princeton Sues Doctors, Pharmacies for Wrongful Death ... Claims Prescribing Oxy, Hydrocodone Was Reckless

Aaron Carter died from a drowning accident, but his son believes the wheels were set in motion by doctors and pharmacies that destroyed Aaron's judgment ... and he's suing them for wrongful death.

Princeton Lyric Carter, the nearly 2-year-old son of Aaron, claims in a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, doctors prescribed Hydrocodone, Oxycodone and Alprazolam with no medical justification and knowing Aaron's "mental health and psychiatric condition.

The lawsuit names, among others, Walgreens, claiming the drugs and quantities, along with Aaron's psychiatric issues, should have sounded alarm bells for the pharmacy.

Aaron died November 5, 2022 -- he was found by his housekeeper, dead in his bathtub. The official cause of death was Xanax and huffing that led to drowning.

Princeton's mom, Melanie Martin, filed the suit on his behalf.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Aaron Carter Su hijo Princeton demanda a médicos y farmacias por homicidio culposo

Aaron Carter murió a causa de asfixia en un accidente, pero su hijo cree que todo fue causado por los médicos y las farmacias que destruyeron su juicio, y por eso, ahora los está demandando por muerte injusta.

Princeton Lyric Carter, el hijo de casi 2 años de Aaron, afirma en una nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, que los médicos le recetaron Hidrocodona, Oxicodona y Alprazolam sin justificación médica y conociendo la "salud mental y el estado psiquiátrico" de Aaron.

La demanda nombra, entre otros, a Walgreens, alegando que los medicamentos y las cantidades, junto con los problemas psiquiátricos de Aaron deberían haber hecho saltar las alarmas de la farmacia.

Aaron murió el 5 de noviembre de 2022, luego de ser encontrado sin vida en su bañera por su ama de llaves. La causa oficial de muerte fue Xanax y el uso de inhaladores que condujeron a un ahogamiento.

La madre de Princeton, Melanie Martin, presentó la demanda en su nombre. Esta persigue daños no especificados.

Tiroteo masivo en Maine Sospechoso Robert Card es encontrado muerto Por aparente suicidio

Robert Card, el hombre acusado de iniciar un tiroteo masivo en Maine, en el que murieron al menos a 18 personas y más de una docena salió herida, fue hallado sin vida y con una herida de bala autoinfligida.

El cuerpo de Card acaba de ser encontrado en el bosque en Maine y se espera que los funcionarios compartan más detalles en una conferencia de prensa programada para las 7 PM PT.

Como informamos, estaba en marcha una persecución para encontrar al hombre de 40 años, después de que abriera fuego en un bowling y un bar en Lewiston el miércoles por la noche. Algunas de las personas que estaban en el bowling eran parte de una liga de bolos juvenil.

El tiroteo del miércoles por la noche quedó registrado como uno de los 10 tiroteos masivos más mortíferos en la historia de Estados Unidos.

Una orden de refugio en el lugar estaba en efecto después del tiroteo masivo. La gobernadora de Maine, Janet Mills, había instado a los residentes a no acercarse a Card si lo veían. También se habían cerrado los colegios de la zona mientras continuaba el operativo.

Se informó que el reservista del Ejército de EE.UU., Robert Card era instructor de armas de fuego con 20 años de experiencia militar. Había trabajado como especialista en suministro de petróleo, sin despliegues de combate. Se había alistado en 2002.

Huyendo para protegerse

Según varios medios de comunicación, el sospechoso había dicho que recientemente que escuchaba voces e incluso había amenazado con disparar a una base de la Guardia Nacional en Saco, Maine. También se informó de que fue internado en una institución mental este verano, pero fue puesto en libertad después de un par de semanas.

Las relajadas leyes de posesión de armas en Maine se han convertido en un gran tema de conversación a raíz del horrible tiroteo. El estado no tiene una ley de bandera roja que permita a los miembros de la familia pedir directamente a un juez que le quiten las armas a alguien que muestra signos de ser una amenaza para los demás.

Maine Mass Shooting Suspect Robert Card Found Dead ... From Apparent Suicide

Robert Card -- the man accused of going on a shooting spree in Maine, killing at least 18 people and injuring over a dozen more -- has been found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Card's body was just found in the woods in Maine and officials are expected to share more details in a news conference scheduled for 7 PM PT.

As we reported, a manhunt was underway for 40-year-old Card after he opened fire at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, Maine Wednesday night ... with some of the people at the bowling alley being a part of a youth bowling league.

Wednesday night's shooting is now infamously cemented as one of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in American history.

A shelter-in-place order was in effect following the mass shooting, with Maine Governor Janet Mills urging residents not to approach Card if they saw him. Schools in the area were also shut down as the hunt continued.

The U.S. Army Reservist is reportedly a trained firearms instructor with 20 years of military experience, working as a petroleum supply specialist in the Reserve with no combat deployments -- enlisting in 2002.

According to multiple media outlets, he recently reported hearing voices and had even threatened to shoot up a National Guard Base in Saco, ME. He also was reportedly committed to a mental institution this summer but was released after a couple of weeks.

Maine's relaxed gun laws have become a big talking point in the wake of the horrific shooting -- the state doesn't have a red flag law that lets family members directly ask a judge to take guns away from someone who shows signs of being a threat to others.

Tiroteo masivo en Maine Recordando a las 18 víctimas

Dieciocho personas fallecieron después del tiroteo masivo de esta semana en Maine, vidas que quedaron truncadas cuando Robert Card abrió fuego en un bowling y un restaurante... y la lista de sus víctimas incluye a personas de 70 años e incluso un niño de 14 años.

Los informes dicen que el adolescente Aaron Young estaba con su padre Bill en el bowling Just-In-Time Recreation el miércoles por la noche en Lewiston. Se encontraban allí para jugar y presenciar la liga de bolos de Aaron cuando el pistolero abrió fuego dentro del edificio. Tanto el padre como el hijo fueron asesinados.

Bob Violette, de 76 años, también perdió la vida en el bowling. Estaba como entrenador voluntario de la liga de bolos juvenil. Su compañero de trabajo le dijo a WBZ News que era un hombre "muy amable", "súper comprensivo" y "muy paciente con todo el mundo."

Tricia Asselin, de 53 años, fue tiroteada mientras intentaba llamar al 911 y el gerente del local Tommy Conrad, de 34 años, también murió mientras intentaba someter a Card.

Jason Walker y su amigo Michael Deslauriers II estaban en el bowling con sus esposas e hijos cuando sonaron los disparos. El padre de Michael dice que los dos hombres cargaron contra Card después de asegurarse de que sus familias estuvieran a salvo, y fue entonces cuando recibieron un disparo mortal.

Como se informó, Card salió del bowling y abrió fuego de nuevo en Schemengees Bar and Grille, matando a ocho personas más, incluyendo a Maxx Hathaway, un padre que estaba allí con su esposa embarazada Brenda y su hijo pequeño Lilian.

De acuerdo a su GoFundMe, la familia estaba en Schemengees cuando su esposa -que va a tener a su tercer hijo en poco más de un mes- decidió llevarse a su hijo pequeño a casa mientras Max se quedaba a jugar un poco más al billar.

Entre los muertos en el bar había varios miembros de la comunidad sorda, que estaban peleando un torneo de cornhole, incluyendo Bryan MacFarlane, Steven Vozzella, Billy Bracket y Joshua Seal.

Joseph Walker, de 56 años, era gerente de Schemengees y también fue abatido a tiros. Perdió la vida después de tratar de detener Card.

Como ustedes saben, Card también hirió a 13 personas durante su brutal ataque. Su casa en Bowdoin, Maine, fue rodeada por la policía el jueves por la noche, aunque él no se encontraba en casa. La persecución contra él sigue en marcha. Las tiendas de armas locales han visto un gran aumento en las ventas de armas de fuego y municiones en respuesta.

Maine Mass Shooting 18 Victims Remembered

Eighteen people are dead after this week's mass shooting in Maine -- lives cut short when Robert Card opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar -- and the list of his victims includes people in their 70s and even a 14-year-old boy.

Reports say teenager Aaron Young was with his father, Bill, at the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston Wednesday night for Aaron's bowling league when the gunman opened fire inside the building -- the father and son were both killed.

76-year-old Bob Violette also lost his life in the bowling alley. There for his volunteer job coaching the youth bowling league, his coworker told WBZ News he was "so kind," "super understanding," and "very patient with everybody."

53-year-old Tricia Asselin was gunned down while trying to call 911 at the bowling alley, and the location's manager, 34-year-old Tommy Conrad, died while trying to subdue Card.

Jason Walker and his friend Michael Deslauriers II were both at the alley with their wives and kids when the shots rang out -- Michael's father says the 2 men charged at Card after making sure their families were safe, and that's when they were fatally shot.

As we reported, Card left the bowling alley and opened fire once again on the crowd at Schemengees Bar and Grille, killing 8 more people ... including Maxx Hathaway, a father who was there with his pregnant wife, Brenda, and their toddler, Lilian.

According to their GoFundMe, the family was at Schemengees when his wife -- who is due with their 3rd child in just over a month -- took their little one home while he stayed behind to play some more pool.

Among those killed at the bar were several members of the deaf community, who were there for a cornhole tournament ... including Bryan MacFarlane, Steven Vozzella, Billy Bracket, and Joshua Seal.

56-year-old Joseph Walker, manager at Schemengees, was also gunned down ... losing his life after trying to stop Card.

As you know, Card also injured 13 people during his murder spree -- his Bowdoin, ME home was surrounded by police Thursday night, but he wasn't home. A manhunt is still underway for him, as local gun stores have seen a huge uptick in sales of firearms and ammo in response.

Sospechoso de tiroteo en Maine Puede haber tenido como objetivo a su ex novia ... Persecución continúa

Robert Card podría haber tenido como objetivo a su exnovia cuando eligió los dos específicos lugares en Maine para atacar en masa con su arma.

El reservista del ejército de EE.UU. solía pasar el rato con su ex amante en el bowling y restaurante en Lewiston, donde desató sus brutales ataques con un rifle de estilo AR, matando a 18 personas e hiriendo a otras 13.

Las autoridades dijeron a ABC News, que la hermana de Card cree que los disparos fueron provocados por una "disputa doméstica", que la policía está explorando como un posible motivo. Según los informes, la familia de Card ha estado cooperando con los investigadores.

De acuerdo con documentos de la corte, el sospechoso estuvo casado alguna vez, pero se divorció en 2007. Su exesposa citó "diferencias irreconciliables" como la razón de la separación. La sentencia de divorcio incluía la custodia compartida de su hijo, que entonces era menor de edad y vivía principalmente con su madre.

Antes de su presunto crimen, Card escribió una nota dirigida a su hijo y la dejó en su casa de Bowdoin, según cuenta ABC. Los investigadores encontraron más tarde la incoherente "nota de suicidio", que contenía información personal y datos bancarios.

Al parecer, Card también "interactuó con contenido conspiranoico" en Internet, explorando una serie de temas como el COVID-19, cuestiones LGBTQ+, derechos de armas y comentarios políticos sobre el presidente Joe Biden.

Después de la masacre de la noche del miércoles, Card huyó en un Subaru blanco, que dejó abandonado en Lisboa, Maine, y que luego fue recuperado por la policía.

Cientos de agentes se han desplegado por toda la región para tratar de encontrar a Card, que les ha eludido hasta ahora, lo que algunos expertos atribuyen a sus supuestas habilidades como amante de las actividades al aire libre.

Las autoridades han dado instrucciones a los residentes de varias ciudades para refugiarse en sus lugares, ya que el sospechoso se considera armado y peligroso por sus antecedentes militares.

En 2002, Card se alistó en la Reserva del Ejército y se convirtió en un especialista en suministro de petróleo. Era responsable de la recepción, almacenamiento y envío de productos derivados de este combustible.

Recientemente, Card informó que tenía problemas de salud mental, como escuchar "voces". Durante el verano, fue internado en una institución psiquiátrica durante dos semanas después de que amenazara con disparar contra una base militar en Saco, Maine.

Maine Mass Shooting Suspect Robert Card May Have Been Targeting Ex-Lover ... As Manhunt Continues

Robert Card might have been targeting his ex-girlfriend when he chose two specific locations in Maine to go on his alleged mass murder spree.

The U.S. Army Reservist used to hang out with his former lover at the bowling alley and bar and grill in Lewiston, where he unleashed his brutal attacks with an AR-style rifle, killing 18 people and injuring 13 others.

Law enforcement told ABC News  ... Card's sister believes the shootings were triggered by a "domestic dispute," which police are now exploring as a possible motive. Card's family has reportedly been cooperating with investigators.

According to court docs ... Card was once married, but got divorced in 2007, and his ex-wife cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason. The divorce order included shared custody of their son, who was then a minor and primarily living with his mother.

Before his alleged killing rampage, Card wrote a note and addressed it to his son, leaving it behind at his Bowdoin home, ABC said. Investigators later found the rambling "suicide note," containing personal information and bank account details.

Card also reportedly "interacted with conspiratorial content" online, exploring a slew of topics such as COVID-19, LGBTQ+ issues, gun rights and political commentary about President Joe Biden.

After Wednesday night's massacre, Card fled in a white Subaru, which was left abandoned in Lisbon, ME, and recovered by police.

Hundreds of officers have fanned out across the region to try to find Card, who has eluded them so far, with some experts attributing this to his purported skills as an outdoorsman.

The authorities have instructed residents in several towns to shelter in place since Card is considered armed and dangerous with a military background.

In 2002, Card enlisted in the Army Reserve and became a petroleum supply specialist. He was responsible for receiving, storing and shipping petroleum-based products.

Recently, Card reported he was having mental health issues, including "hearing voices." Over the summer, he was committed to a mental institution for two weeks after he threatened to shoot up a military base in Saco, ME.

Maine Mass Shooting Residents Rush To Buy Guns ... As Suspect on Loose

Folks in Maine are rushing to stock up on guns to protect themselves in the wake of a mass shooting with a suspect who remains on the loose.

Gun and ammo stores near Lewiston, Maine are seeing a huge surge in folks trying to buy firearms and bullets, with the majority of people coming in to buy handguns.

First Due Firearms tells TMZ ... the phone is ringing off the hook with lots of first-time gun buyers and others looking to add to their firearm collection, with many folks ready to purchase and put money down.

The store says buyers are citing Wednesday's mass shooting, which killed 18 people, as the reason for purchasing guns and ammo.

Over at G3 Firearms, we're told the store's been packed since it opened bright and early at 9 AM ... with people wanting guns for protection. Most of the sales were for handguns, but we're told a few folks bought AR-15s and some even asked for body armor.

Meanwhile, at 3 Cousins Firearms we're told the business is being swamped with calls, emails and Facebook messages from people wanting guns ... and they expect to be super busy the rest of the week.

FLEEING TO SAFETY

At another gun store in the area, we're told there was a 50% increase in firearms and while interest was largely for handguns, we're told a couple rifles were sold too.

With multiple counties in Maine in lockdown amid the manhunt for alleged gunman Robert Card, it sounds like people are arming themselves and bracing for the worst.

We're also told the ATF reached out to gun stores in Maine asking owners about Card, but no one was familiar with him.

Maine Mass Shooting Suspect's Home Surrounded By Police

UPDATE

6:43 PM PT -- Reports say several of the agents and officers outside the home have left as it now appears Card is not inside the home. ABC News reports the strategy taken by law enforcement is standard procedure in executing a search warrant.

Cops believe they're zeroing in on the man suspected of going on the shooting rampage in Maine ... because his home is surrounded by law enforcement vehicles, drones and helicopters.

The wild and tense scene is playing out at the Bowdoin, ME residence of alleged gunman Robert Card, and cops believe they've seen some movement in a window of the home. Police are shouting commands out over a loudspeaker, telling Card -- or whoever's inside -- to come out and surrender.

At this point, cops aren't confirming there's definitely someone in there, but they're taking every precaution.

102623-maine-suspect-police-house-kal
SURROUNDING THE HOUSE
CNN

The huge police presence includes armored vehicles and drones in the air. It seems pretty clear, they have no intent of sending officers into Card's last known residence, and will instead try to encourage any individuals inside to come out with their hands up.

As we reported ... Card was captured on surveillance cameras during Wednesday night's massacre -- when he opened fire inside a bowling alley and then a bar, killing 18 people.

Card got away, and a huge manhunt ensued all day ... forcing authorities to instruct residents in several towns to shelter in place.

Meanwhile, folks have been buying up guns left and right ... and Pete Davidson and John Mulaney have postponed their upcoming weekend comedy gigs in Maine.

Card has a military background -- he enlisted over 20 years ago in the Army Reserve -- so, law enforcement's taking a slow and careful approach outside his house.

Joe Budden Leaking Old Music So Uncool, Just Blaze ... You'd Flip Over A Leaked Beat!!!

Joe Budden is pissed with Just Blaze for releasing his old Slaughterhouse music ... even if his diehard fans were rejoicing to hear the tracks.

On the newest episode of "The Joe Budden Podcast," the retired rapper lashed out at Just Blaze's recent actions without cracking a smile.

Just recently took it upon himself to honor the recently deceased Mark The 45 King and leaked a pair of tunes from the defunct group's shelved "Glass House" album of 2014.

Hip hop heads and even Joe's cohosts wholeheartedly approved of the tracks, but Joe argued he's long removed himself from the SH situation and attempted to call Just for a curse-out in real time ... but the superproducer didn't pick up.

The group was supposed to be hip hop saviors but infighting saw them only release one album on Eminem's Shady Records.

And Joe's screaming nothing else should see the light of day.

Northwestern State Football Season Canceled, Coach Resigns After Player's Tragic Death

Northwestern State University has canceled its football team's season following a player's tragic death.

The school announced the move on Thursday ... just 14 days after junior safety Ronnie Caldwell was shot and killed near NSU's campus in Louisiana.

The university said in a statement "the mental health and wellbeing of its student-athletes" was the "primary reason" for the decision.

"While our instinct was to return to the field of play following [Caldwell's] death," NSU President Dr. Marcus Jones said, "we've since learned that the hurt on our team was too deep. Now it is in the best interest of our players, coaches, and staff to pause and to take this time to mourn, to heal, and to support Ronnie's family."

The team canceled its Oct. 14 game against Nicholls State immediately after Caldwell's death, but it suited up for its game against Southeastern Louisiana a week later. It lost the contest, 37-20, but players and coaches all honored Caldwell during the matchup.

The team had four more games remaining on its schedule before Thursday's decision to forego the rest of the year was made.

Meanwhile, NSU head coach Brad Laird revealed he was resigning from his position after holding it for the past six years ... saying he was heartbroken over Caldwell's passing.

"Due to the loss of Ronnie and the emotional burden it has caused me, I don't feel I can give my all to these players or this program," Laird said. "Any coach will tell you that their players become like family, so the loss of Ronnie was like losing a son. I love this program and this university and I know it will persevere and move forward with the competitive spirit that is at the core of our DNA."

Caldwell had appeared in 11 games last season for NSU, but hadn't suited up this season due to a preseason injury.

He was just 21 years old.
