MMR News: Hillary vs Sanders

Clinton clinches Democratic nomination – Sanders vows to fight on

Hillary Clinton clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night, becoming the first woman in American history to top the ticket of a major political party and putting immediate pressure on primary rival Bernie Sanders to step aside – though the Vermont senator vowed to keep fighting for “every delegate.”

Fox News projected Tuesday that Clinton now has enough pledged delegates to capture the nomination without the need to count super delegates.

As Clinton now launches a general election battle against presumptive rival Donald Trump, Sanders remained defiant at an early Wednesday morning rally in Los Angeles. Far from bowing out, he vowed to campaign through the final primary next Tuesday in Washington, D.C., and then “take our fight for social, economic, racial and environmental justice to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,” the site of the convention.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Sanders announced he’d keep going, a decision he kept close to the vest right up until his remarks.

MMR on Ent News: A legend dies

Muhammad Ali: Boxing legend, activist and 'The Greatest' to a world of fans

For a man who preached inclusiveness and reached millions around the world, it's a fitting way to let his fans say goodbye.

Muhammad Ali's funeral and jenazah -- or Muslim funeral prayer service -- will be open to the public, his spokesman Bob Gunnell said.

And one of the venues will be the site of Ali's last hometown fight in Louisville, Kentucky.

The jenazah will take place at noon Thursday at Freedom Hall -- where Ali defeated Willi Besmanoff on November 29, 1961.

A total of 14,000 tickets will be available on a first come, first service basis, starting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Gunnell said. Four tickets maximum per request will be available from the Freedom Hall box office.

A New York rap concert turned deadly when an argument erupted in gunfire, according to police.

One man died and three other people were injured in the Wednesday night shooting at the Irving Plaza, where rapper T.I. was scheduled to perform.

The incident began as an argument that escalated into a fistfight outside a green room reserved for rappers on the bill at Wednesday night's concert, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.

After about five minutes of fisticuffs, someone pulled a gun and began shooting, he said.

Police have recovered five 9mm bullet casings, and are talking to witnesses and looking for video of the incident, he said.

Authorities do not yet know the motive for the argument or shooting, but say T.I. wasn't part of it.

"From what we can determine right now, he had nothing to do with this," Boyce said.

The man who died was 33, according to police.

Rapper Troy Ave -- whose real name is Roland Collins -- was shot in the leg and is expected to recover, Boyce said.

Another man, previously described as a 34-year-old, and a woman, said to be 26, were also shot and expected to survive.
