LIL BOOSIE: One Dead in Shooting at Video Set

One man is dead and four were injured in a shooting on the set of a Lil Boosie video.

Saturday afternoon, a crowd assembled in Jacksonville, Florida after Boosie Badazz promoted the shoot with Baby Soulja on social media. Not long after, shots rang out. Cops aren't sure if the perpetrator was on foot or in a car passing by -- or even if it was a single gunman.

The dead man has been identified as 22-year-old Kyree Corley.

Boosie's show that night in Jacksonville apparently went on as scheduled. (WJXT-TV)

GEORGE W. BUSH: Trump's Russia Ties Require Investigation

Former President George W. Bush has a few differences of opinion with our current President.

Bush appeared on NBC's Today show this morning in a wide-ranging interview with Matt Lauer. He started out by noting that the Presidency is a tough job and that Donald Trump has been in office for just a month, but he also disagreed with the President on a few issues.

Bush believes that Trump's ties to Russia and its interference in the election deserve a full investigation. He said, "I think we all need answers." He declined to say whether an independent prosecutor is needed, deferring to the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr.

He also took issue with Trump's approach to the media.

BURN IT

Seems Donald Trump prefers his steaks well-done ... with ketchup. Yes, it may make foodies and chefs everywhere cringe, but the President like his steak extra crispy. During a Saturday-night dinner at BLT Prime by David Burke, which is inside the Trump Washington, D.C., hotel, President Trump ordered his 28-day, dry-aged New York strip steak well-done ... and then ate it with a side of ketchup.

ENVELOPE GATE

Donald Trump has offered up an opinion about the Oscars’ Best Picture flub. He says it’s because the Academy Awards were too focused on politics. In an interview with Breitbart, President Trump said, "I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn't get the act together at the end. It was a little sad. It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. It didn't feel like a very glamorous evening. I've been to the Oscars. There was something very special missing, and then to end that way was sad."

WARREN BUFFET GIVING AWAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR MARCH MADNESS

Over the past few years, investor Warren Buffett has become famous for offering a billion dollars to anyone who fills out a perfect March Madness bracket. The odds of this happening, of course, are very slim – one in 9.2 quintillion.

And now, he’s making more prize money available – that could actually be won. His company will give $1 million a year for life to any employee who can correctly guess the Sweet 16 round in the upcoming NCAA tournament.

And, there’s also a prize of $100,000 for whoever goes the furthest. Last year, two guys tied. One of them knew a lot about basketball, while the other didn’t know anything about basketball – but they each got $50,000 out of the deal.
