New York Realtor, 75, Bites 7-Year-Old Girl In Brawl Over Free T-Shirt At Concert
Last Updated: Gail Bomze, Manhattan real estate agent, accused of assaulting children at Hamptons concert over a free t-shirt. A 75-year-old real estate agent from Manhattan has been accused of biting a young girl during a dispute over a free t-shirt at a concert in the Hamptons. Police arrested Gail Bomze after she allegedly assaulted several children at the 'Tuesdays on Main Beach" event last week. US outlet Page Six reported that Gail Bomze was said to have punched and kicked attendees before grabbing a seven-year-old girl and biting her arm, causing bleeding and swelling. Witnesses told police she had been 'kicking and punching kids" while attempting to seize one of the free t-shirts handed out at the concert. The girl's parents contacted police, who later arrested Gail Bomze on charges of third-degree assault and endangering a child. She was issued an appearance ticket and released. Gail Bomze's lawyer denied the allegations, describing her as 'a 75-year-old grandmother" who had been injured herself in the scramble. The lawyer said, 'Ms Bomze firmly denies these allegations. She was knocked to the ground in the chaos by a group of teenagers during the t-shirt toss, leaving her sore and injured, and she reported her concerns in writing to the event organisers the very next day." The statement further elaborated, 'The organisers promptly called her, apologised, and assured her that changes would be made to improve safety. She has also met with the police to raise her own concerns and asked that the incident be investigated. This unfortunate episode could have been avoided with better event management and appropriate crowd control measures in place."

Man charged with killing an 'American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
LOS ANGELES — A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Man charged with killing an 'American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.
