Dog The Bounty Hunter Stepson Accidentally Killed Son
TMZ was the first to break the sad news, with Collier County Sheriff's Office later confirming the tragic death to People, stating that deputies responded to a call about a shooting at around 8 p.m. local time. They said it was an 'isolated incident,' and nobody has been arrested at this time, adding that they are "conducting a thorough investigation looking into all the elements" of the tragedy."The investigation includes statements from witnesses who were at the scene, forensic testing, subpoenas and search warrants," the sheriff's office concluded.
Dog, real name Duane Chapman, and Gregory's mom, Francie Chapman, issued a statement to TMZ through their representative, which read: 'We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible, tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony."
Dog first found fame back in 2003, when he tracked down fugitive Andrew Luster, who had fled the US in the middle of a trial where he was convicted of multiple counts of rape.
The following year, he launched his A&E reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, which followed him and his team as they tracked down fugitives mainly in Hawaii and Colorado, with a few exceptions.The show ended up being cancelled in 2012, and Dog landed follow-up shows including Dog and Beth: On the Hunt, and Dog's Most Wanted.

Inside Zac Brown and Kendra Scott's plan for $6.7M Austin home after engagement announcement
Zac Brown and jewelry designer Kendra Scott are engaged after the country singer popped the question with a sparkling pink diamond. So, will he move to Austin, TX, and make his fiancée's $6.7 million home their love nest? The 46-year-old 'Old Love Song' hitmaker, 46, got down on one knee and asked Scott, 51, to marry him—two months after making their romance red-carpet official. The lovebirds confirmed their engagement to People, telling the outlet that they are so 'happy and grateful' that they found each other. In May, the couple made their red carpet debut while attending the American Music Awards in Las Vegas. At the time, an insider close to Brown and Scott told the outlet that they were madly in love. 6 Zac Brown and jewelry designer Kendra Scott are engaged after the country singer proposed with a pink diamond ring. Getty Images 'They were set up by a mutual friend and are totally in love. They are head over heels and have become inseparable,' the source revealed. Just days after they hard-launched their relationship to the world, Scott—who shares sons Cade, 23, and Beck, 21, with ex-husband John Scott as well as son Grey, 11, with ex-husband Matt Davis—took to social media to gush about her new partner. 'What an unforgettable night at the @amas,' she wrote on Instagram that same day.

They were then spotted at fellow country star Jamey Johnson's wedding together, leaving fans gushing over their adorable romance. Their engagement comes two years after Brown—who shares kids Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 16, Joni, 14, and Alexander, 11, with ex-wife Shelly Brown—separated from Kelly Yazdi. 6 The engagement comes two years after Brown separated from Kelly Yazdi.

Brown then filed an emergency temporary restraining order demanding that Yazdi remove an Instagram post that he claimed damaged his public image. Yazdi rebuked the lawsuit and shared a fierce social media post in response. 6 Brown listed his lakeside home in Georgia for $3.25 million amid his divorce. REUTERS 'No one—not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers, may silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce,' she said in a video shared to TikTok on May 19. Amid his divorce battle, Brown listed his sprawling lakeside home in Georgia for $3.25 million, after splashing out $1.8 million for it in 2020.

Famed Photographer Says He Was 'Surprised' by David Bowie's Behavior Off the Stage (Exclusive)
The photographer toured with Bowie in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s Denis O'Regan had an unlikely road to his place as one of rock's most iconic photographers. In his new book David Bowie by Denis O'Regan, the famed photographer takes a heartfelt and meticulous look back at touring with the iconic singer over three decades — in the 1970s, at the end of his Isolar II World Tour; in the 1980s, on the Serious Moonlight and Glass Spider world tours; and in the 1990s, during the Tin Man and Outside tours. Speaking with PEOPLE about the collection of photos and stories that comprise the book, O'Regan opens up about what it was like getting to know Bowie. "When I got there, I thought David would be seen in these different guises, and no one had ever really seen him offstage that much. I thought, 'Well, he's going to keep us [at] arm's length. He won't let me do this. He'll be demanding about that,'" he recalls. "And of course, that wasn't the case." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. O'Regan was shocked by the "Rebel Rebel" singer's comfortability giving him "unfettered access to everything, everywhere and anywhere." "I just did what I did and captured it all, and we got along," he shares. "That really helped. I was fairly lazy, so that also helped because I wasn't constantly hassling him or anyone I worked with to take pictures." Getting to know Bowie was an experience in itself. O'Regan found himself "surprised" by "how pleasant he was and unprepossessing." "He was very normal and that's not what I expected from the person I'd seen on stage. He was still this English lad who hid a cigarette in his hand behind his back like he was a naughty schoolboy," he recalls. "He was also very funny. He loved to imitate people and he laughed continually. And that I didn't expect. So I didn't expect him to be so friendly and accommodating really is what it was, and so enthusiastic about what I was there to do." The photographer came to appreciate Bowie's character, on and off stage. "From David being around all the time, he had gone from this person who was an enigma for me and this hero, to there I was, with him all day, every day. Sometimes I did wonder how I'd managed it." O'Regan also got used to seeing other stars, from those who worked with Bowie to those who were simply fans of the musician and would come to his shows. On one occasion, the photographer was preparing to shoot a show at Wembley Stadium when he learned that Princess Diana was coming and eager to meet Bowie. "I thought, 'Well, Princess Diana, that's fun.' But there was no communication. I was out in the audience at Wembley Stadium, and I took my father and my brother out there to get them a good place, and we were gone for quite a while," he recalls. "Then I came back and David and his PA just said, 'Diana's on her way.' " O'Regan says Diana was with "a friend," who would later be revealed to be Army Major James Hewitt, though, at the time, no one had any suspicions the two were romantically involved. "On that day, she was just with a friend. And it was only when that was reported over the next couple of days that we really knew what was going on," he adds. "It didn't make any difference to our day, but that's what happened." When Diana arrived, O'Regan asked promoter Harvey Goldsmith if he could photograph her. Goldsmith then told him to "ask her yourself." The photographer remembered feeling like "protocol went out the window." "I thought, 'Okay, wasn't quite sure that's how it's done.' So I did and I said, 'Would you like a picture taken with David?'" he recalls. "And she said, 'Do you think you'd really want one taken with me?' And I went, 'I think he would actually,' so then we did it. But it was lovely, and she was lovely, and it was great to have done it." Another unforgettable celebrity sighting was when Michael Jackson spent time backstage with Bowie — narrowly missing Prince, who "scuttled off just before" his fellow pop star arrived. "With Michael Jackson, everyone was just milling around in the green room, and Michael didn't want any pictures taken," he recalls. "So I said, 'Well, it's either pictures with David or it isn't,' so he agreed, and that was the first time I met." "I think the thing that surprised me about Michael Jackson was he was quite tall, and that threw me," O'Regan shares. "He was coming across as this little boy. If you look at the piece, he's as tall or taller than David." It wasn't unusual to see the stars showing up to greet Bowie at any gig. Noting there were "always people milling about," O'Regan saw famous faces including Andy Warhol, Duran Duran, and Gary Oldman. "I'd wonder if they were fans or if they just wanted to meet him or get their picture taken with him," he admits. "Mick Jagger was an old friend, so I photographed them together more than once during those tours. And one picture of David and Mick, it's in the book, but I took it at a club after a Wembley Stadium show, and it's Mick and David sitting at the table. And when David passed away, Mick tweeted that picture as his tribute." Similarly, Madonna used a photo taken by O'Regan to commemorate Bowie's death in January 2016. "She just cropped herself and David out, but to the left, there was Sam Kinison, the comedian, and next to him was Billy Idol. I know David was a hero to Madonna because Sean Penn told David that Madonna based her entire career on David, and the change of look and things like that, so that must've been quite a moment for her," O'Regan says. The photographer found that, like himself, "loads of people, from all different walks of life" adored Bowie. David Bowie by Denis O'Regan is available wherever books are sold beginning on Tuesday, August 5. Read the original article on People
