The gunman who killed multiple people at the NFL's headquarters in New York earlier this summer has been diagnosed with CTE.

The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner said in a statement on Friday that after testing Shane Tamura's brain tissue, they discovered "unambiguous diagnostic evidence" of the disease.

Tekashi 6ix9ine copped to violating the terms of his probation once again, this time for pleading guilty to assaulting a man in a mall who called him a "snitch" ... and now he's been placed on supervised release with an ankle monitor.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained legal docs handed down in federal court in NYC on Friday, ordering the rainbow-haired rapper to adhere to home confinement with an electronic monitor, barring the usual exceptions for getting out of the house ... like for religious services, medical and mental health treatment, and court-ordered appearances.

The altercation went down in August at the Palm Beach County Mall in Florida after 6ix9ine and another man were accused of knocking a third man down to the ground, then kicking and punching him until they realized he was armed, and fled the scene.

Daymond John says Las Vegas has taken a big hit recently ... but, hotels and casinos in the area may just hit the jackpot with a new game plan and a fortuitous schedule next year.

John tells us the USA isn't as welcoming as it used to be ... which he thinks could be leading to a decline in international tourism to the area. Plus, the younger generation isn't drinking as much ... so, there's less incentive to go to a place like L.V.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is in hot water after he was captured on video this week violently manhandling a woman inside a NYC courthouse.

The ICE agent, dressed in street clothes with a badge around his neck, is caught on camera speaking to a distraught woman in the hallway of the courthouse on Thursday. The woman appears to be asking for her husband to be released from ICE custody, but the agent repeatedly says "adios."

At some point, the agent becomes so frustrated he grabs her and shoves her against a wall, before pushing her to the ground. The woman appears to hit her head on the floor. It's unclear if she suffered any injuries.

The rap game is sprinkled with gym rats ... Lil Jon, Megan Thee Stallion, Moneybagg Yo, and Benzino, just to name a few ... but Meth says it's guys like Mike who keep him going.

We ask if Meth is open to flaunting the body he's been sculpting in his roles down the line ... and luckily for his gawking fan base, he's down to show some skinnnnn!!!
