Lamar Odom Involved In Shootout at Hooters!
Earlier this year, fans feared that Lamar Odom was headed for another health crisis.
Instead, it looks like he was caught up in a very different crisis — one that involved a gun, the police, and Hooters.
He’s okay, but this wild story could have very easily been a lot more serious.
TMZ reports that Lamar Odom’s incident involves the police being called to Hooters … which is already a lot.
So, apparently the police show up to a Hooters in Queens, New York in the wee hours of Friday, July 20.
Why? Because someone fired a gun in the parking lot.
Now, Lamar was not the guy who fired the gun.
But … he is definitely a part of this story.
According to witnesses who spoke to police, Lamar was with some friends at Hooters for whatever reason.
When they were leaving the restaurant, they apparently got into some sort of verbal altercation with another group of individuals.
At least part of this argument was reportedly captured by surveillance.
According to one of the witnesses who spoke to police, a man from the other group produced a gun. That’s when things turned serious.
Though he thankfully did not shoot anyone with it, he did what many would consider the next worse thing — he reportedly fired the gun into the air multiple times.
That group, as you can imagine, is said to have fled the scene.
Discharging a firearm in a public place isn’t just dangerous, scary, and threatening — it is also super illegal.
So the NYPD is searching for the shooter. Illegal discharge of a firearm in a public place is no joke.
However, TMZ reports that the police have not made any arrests in the case.
Considering that there are eyewitnesss and at least some surveillance footage, it is probably only a matter of time.
As for Lamar Odom, he was not injured and is also not in any trouble. He is said to have cooperated fully with investigators.
Saam Zangeneh is Odom’s attorney. He tells TMZ that Lamar is innocent in this.
“Lamar did nothing wrong and was not arrested,” Zangeneh says.
In fact, if he weren’t famous, it’s unlikely that anyone but local news would be talking about this at all.
“He’s a law abiding citizen,” Zangeneh reminds the world. “And he did his best to answer all the questions the police had for him.”
As we mentioned, it doesn’t sound like this would have ever made the news if Lamar weren’t a celebrity.
The fact that it all took place in a Hooters parking lot is entertaining — but only because no one was reportedly injured during the confrontation.
Plenty of people — most people, probably — have never even been to a Hooters and wouldn’t imagine heading to one at any time.
But for Lamar and the people with whom he was spending time, maybe it just made since if they wanted to grab something to eat late at night.
We don’t know what sparked the alleged confrontation with the other group. We may never know the subject of the argument.
But please do not bring a gun to Hooters and please do not fire that gun in the parking lot. Lamar isn’t the best guy in the world, but he doesn’t need to be around gunfire.

Tyler Honeycutt, Former UCLA Basketball Standout, Dead After Shootout with Cops
Tyler Honeycutt, a former star for the UCLA Bruins who played parts of two seasons in the NBA, was found dead on Friday inside his home after a violent standoff with the police.
He was 27 years old.
The details behind Honeycutt’s death are both sad and bizarre.
The Los Angeles Police Department and L.A. Fire Department told USA Today, TMZ and other media outlets that a man with a firearm shot at officers around5p.m. on Friday, prior to barricading himself inside his Sherman Oaks, California home for nine hours.
The SWAT team eventually arrived and entered the residence … only to find Honeycutt lying on the ground, unresponsive.
On Saturday afternoon, the official LAPD Twitter account die not cite Honeycutt by name, but did provide an update on the situation from the evening before, writing:
Regarding last nights Officer-Involved Shooting in Van Nuys Division, it appears as if the suspect was not struck by any officer’s gunfire.
The suspect appears to have sustained injuries consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
TMZ reports that a gun was found inside the premises, near Honeycutt’s body, and it is presumed he took his own life.
This same website says that Honeycutt’s mother was the person who called police Friday, saying her son was acting erratically on Friday.
The former college star’s family has confirmed his passing to a local ABC affiliate, while his agent has done the same to the Russian team for whom Honeycutt had been playing professionally.
No officers were injured in the altercation, according to LAPD.
Meanwhile, several residents in the area had been evacuated as a precaution.
Honeycutt earned All-Pac-10 First Team honors in 2011 as a sophomore, leading his team to the NCAA Tournament.
He was then drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the second roundon tha NBA Draft, playing sporadically for two seasons with them, before heading to Europe to continue his career.
He most recently played with Moscow’s BC Khimki.
Former Kings teammate DeMarcus Cousins was one of several players to mourn Honeycutt’s death on social media, Tweeting this afternoon after the tragic news broke:
“Prayers up for his family and friends. Rest easy bro!”
Honeycutt’s coach at Khimki, Giorgios Bartzokas, was too overwhelmed to comment, saying simply when asked by reporters:
“I am sorry I cannot talk right now, I am really sad.”
Added New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday:
“Still can’t believe this… Rest In Peace to my brother Tyler Honeycutt.”
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the friends, family members and loved ones of Tyler Honeycutt.
May he rest in peace.

John Legend: Shoot-Out at Kim Kardashian Robbery?
John Legend, long-time family friend of the Kardashians, recently opened up about Kim’s Paris robbery to XM Radio’s Sway in the Morning, and truth be told, he brought the realness in a big way.
About the heist, Legend said, “People were criticizing, you know, security, this and that.”
“But five people with guns come up?” he asked.
“I don’t care if you’ve got two or three security people, they got to back up,” he proclaimed.
“You don’t want to get in a gun fight.”
“You’ve got five armed guys coming; there’s not really much you can do to stop that,” he admitted.
“Just give them what they want and escape with your life, you know?”
“[There was no way to prepare for Kim’s] one-in-a-billion situation,” he concluded.
However, it would appear that he took a shot at Kardashian and her social media ways, using them as a cautionary tale.
“[You] have to be careful about [Snapchatting] and things like that,” he said.
“Because people know exactly where you are.”
Despite Kim’s TMI social practices, Legend maintained his Kardashian defense.
“You just can’t go through life in fear all the time,” he said.
“And we try not to.”
Kim has since emerged in public for the first time after the robbery – over two weeks later – looking very demure and very down, and honestly, who can blame her?
Though rumors swirled that the robbery didn’t happen, or that Kanye West himself staged the robbery, Kardashian sued the publication fabricating the rumors.
Kardashian seems to be on the mend, however.
Not only did Keeping Up With the Kardashians celebrate nine years of putting us through hell, it was reported that production on the reality show resumed as normal, after being suspended shortly after the hold-up.
Though many thought the show would be cancelled after the drama, that same many apparently forgot that the Kardashians thrive on drama to continue their brand.
Of course they wouldn’t toss nine years’ worth of work in the trash.
John Legend is absolutely right, though – you don’t bring a Kardashian … or anything else for that matter … to a gun fight.
And also, Kim really needs to exercise a whole lot more discretion with her personal life than she has in the past.
For her sake, but also for ours.
