Katie Thurston's revealing a traumatic incident to the world ... telling fans she was raped and the justice system has failed her.

The "Bachelorette" -- who starred on Season 17 of the show -- broke the news in an Instagram post Friday where she shared parts of her story alongside a list of resources for others who have experienced sexual assault and rape.

Thurston says she's not ready to dive into specific details, but she explains she called 911 to report the incident ... and, an officer took her to receive a sexual assault forensic exam.

A 13-year-old boy apparently brandishing a gun was shot to death by police in New York – and the violence was all caught on video.

The footage opened with three cops running down a street after the teen in the upstate city of Utica on Friday night.

The officers caught up to the boy and wrestled him to the ground in a residential area. A cop can be seen standing over the boy outside a house and punching him as he lay on the front lawn. There was a brief scuffle before one of the officers fired a bullet into the youth.

A security guard in Texas quit his job live on-air after his manager scolded him for being in uniform while he was telling local TV crews about being assaulted on duty.

Percy Payne was doing an interview with FOX 7 Austin when his manager came up and told him he was breaking company policy. The two argued until Percy abruptly turned in his uniform and quit on the spot.

The reason Percy was talking to the news station ... he's got surveillance video showing what he claims is him being assaulted by two men at the parking garage he protects.

Zedd says a woman he's never met is impersonating him and showing up at his home demanding to speak with him ... and now he's running to a judge for help.

The DJ beelined it to court Thursday and filed for a temporary restraining order against a woman named Rezwan Senobarian, who he claims is harassing him and his staff.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Zedd claims Rezwan falsely impersonated him by phone and email to numerous people, and he says she came to his Encino home multiple times this week, acting erratically and demanding to talk to him.

Travis Scott could have avoided his arrest in Miami last week if he hadn't left some stuff behind on the yacht where the incident went down ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the rapper had been driven away from the yacht, when he told his driver to go back to the marina early last Thursday morning.

We're told Travis realized he'd left his bag and phone on the yacht, and banged a u-turn to retrieve the items.

Boyd Tinsley is facing new legal woes -- 'cause the famous violinist was arrested for DUI after allegedly having a run-in with another car ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the Dave Matthews Band alum was busted Monday in Rio, VA after officers responded to a 2-vehicle crash. We're told cuffs were slapped on Boyd after about 20 minutes ... this after cops say they suspected he was driving under the influence.

Obviously, the narrative's a bit murky -- but we've got video of Tinsley interacting with police on the scene, and have more of an understanding of what might've happened here.

Paul Mitchell's son's death remains shrouded in mystery -- because even though we now know how he died ... it's still unclear exactly what led up to it, and why.

TMZ has obtained the police report and medical examiner's report for Angus Mitchell's death case in Hawaii -- and the paperwork certainly sheds more light on what happened before AM passed away ... as well as what went into trying to save him.

According to the docs, cops say witnesses told them Angus had been partying with friends the night before he was found at the bottom of the pool at his Honolulu home ... but nobody had a clear explanation on what led up to him getting into the water and never reemerging.

The rookie cop who arrested Justin Timberlake for DWI is soaking up summer in the Hamptons ... and doesn't seem the least bit concerned by his newfound fame.

Michael Arkinson -- the Sag Harbor police officer who pulled over Justin and took him to jail -- spent his Sunday Funday on a boat, about an hour north of where he busted JT. If you didn't know, he and his partner, Otis, are cited in the police report as the arresting officers ... but Mike's getting credit as the guy who brought Justin in for booking.

Anyway ... check out these photos/videos, obtained by TMZ, showing a sometimes shirtless Arkinson sitting in a power boat docked at a restaurant in Greenport, NY over the weekend.

Julio Foolio -- an up-and-coming rapper from Florida -- has died in a shooting outside a Tampa-area hotel ... TMZ has confirmed.

His attorney Lewis Fusco released a statement announcing the death Sunday, just hours after his client passed. According to the statement ... Julio -- whose real name was Charles Jones -- was in town to celebrate his birthday.

New video from the horrific scene where a city truck decapitated an elderly man in New York shows the moment the vehicle made contact ... and shockingly, it happened slowly.

Surveillance footage going around online catches the 86-year-old victim slowly making his way across a street in Brooklyn ... and he actually narrowly avoided another car that took a left turn just as he was starting to cross -- before the NYC Dept. of Transportation truck arrived.

The elderly man waits for that car to pass before continuing across the street ... when the big yellow Transportation truck starts to turn right, heading directly into his path and hitting him.

Kendrick Lamar is set to film a new music video this weekend ... and we're told the rapper is beefing up his security to keep himself, his team, and the community safe.

We're told Kendrick's team got all the proper permits needed to pull off the project ... and the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. will send deputies for extra security during the music vid shoot.

Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest was caught on body cam video -- but cops aren't planning to release it to the public anytime soon ... at least not until their investigation is wrapped.

TMZ officially submitted a request for a copy of the video -- which we know was taken during the time of the arrest early Tuesday -- and Sag Harbor PD just got back to us with their response ... saying they're denying the request for the footage, and citing a statute that's interesting.

According to SHPD ... the reason they won't drop the body cam video (for now) is because of a specific New York law that deals with the release of public records.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... JT will, in fact, perform in Chicago starting Friday -- which kicks off two tour dates there in town that were previously scheduled. We're told Justin has every intention to hit the stage in Chi-Town for both Friday and Saturday's shows.

No word on whether Justin will address the DWI arrest -- directly or indirectly -- but at the very least, we're told his fans can expect their regularly scheduled programming from him.
