(CNN) — Robert Reiner, the celebrated actor, director and producer, was found dead with his wife Michele at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday, a spokesperson for the Reiner family said. He was 78.

Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department were investigating an apparent homicide. “We’re going to try to speak to every family member that we can to get to the facts of this investigation,” LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said. Investigators were interviewing a family member Sunday evening regarding the deaths, a law enforcement source told CNN.

“He was brilliant and kind, a man who made films of every genre to challenge himself as an artist,” Kathy Bates said in a statement through a representative.

Reiner came to stardom playing the son-in-law of Archie and Edith Bunker on the 1970s hit show “All in the Family” before going on to create a truly diverse body of incredibly successful work, including classics like “This is Spinal Tap,” “Stand By Me,” and “The Princess Bride.” He cemented his status as a leading director with “When Harry Met Sally…”, “Misery,” and “A Few Good Men,” which earned four Oscar nominations.

Reiner was born in 1947 in The Bronx, New York, to Estelle and Carl Reiner, the writer, actor, director and producer whose many decades’ worth of credits included “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “The 2000 Year Old Man.”

Reiner said he found it a challenge to step out of his father’s shadow.

“I didn’t feel the pressure from my father, I felt the pressure internally because my father had achieved at such a high level that I thought, ‘Well, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to break through,’” he told The Atlantic in 2017.

He did. Reiner earned two Emmy Awards for his role on “All in the Family” playing Mike Stivic, who would get into arguments with his conservative father-in-law on the groundbreaking show, which often explored political and social issues through comedy.

‘This Is Spinal Tap’

Though Reiner continued to act – he had a part on season 4 of FX’s “The Bear” earlier this year – he moved behind the camera in the 1980s, making his directorial debut with “This Is Spinal Tap,” the musical comedy that more or less invented the mockumentary. “It pioneered a new narrative format,” Reiner wrote in a history of the movie published earlier this year.

“Spinal Tap” also did something more important, he noted: it “transformed the way people talk and think about the music industry.”

After years of development, a sequel to the film – “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” – was released in September, 2025.

(CNN) — For nine hours, students at Brown University crouched under desks and behind locked door, making panicked phone calls and sending “I love you” texts that felt dangerously close to goodbyes.

An active shooter was on campus — and police were still searching for a suspect.

Late Saturday night into Sunday morning, they listened for footsteps, for sirens, for anything that might signal the end of another American nightmare.

It is a kind of story Americans know too well, and one that repeats with numbing regularity — again and again and again.

By the time Brown’s campus lockdown lifted at 5:40 a.m., two students were dead and nine others had been injured, according to the university. One victim remains in critical condition, another is listed as stable and one person was treated and released.

So far in 2025, there have been at least 391 mass shootings and 13,929 shooting deaths in the United States, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Each number represents a shattered family, a traumatized community, another generation learning too early how to survive gunfire.

At the private university in Providence, Rhode Island, the nightmare began on a winter afternoon just two weeks before Christmas. Students were studying for finals at the library or taking exams. Others were attending review sessions, and some were hanging out with friends visiting the Ivy League campus when the first alert reached their phones at 4:22 p.m.

“Urgent: There’s an active shooter near Barus & Holley Engineering,” the alert read.

Students should lock the doors, silence phones and hide until further notice, it said, adding to run and evacuate safely if you could.

“FIGHT, as a last resort, take action to protect yourself,” the alert said.

Ten more alerts would follow, reminding the community to stay sheltered in place and keep doors locked, letting students know where police were and which buildings were being evacuated, and, finally, telling them the shelter-in-place order had ended.

Saturday’s shooting came on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school massacre, which claimed the lives of 26 people, including 20 elementary students.

At least two students at Brown had survived previous school shootings.

Zoe Weissman was in middle school when she witnessed the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead.

Happy Monday! We begin the morning with overcast skies and cool temperatures. A Dense fog Advisory is in effect for the Salinas Valley along with interior Santa Ynez Valley. The marine layer and low clouds will clear out rather quickly. High rise into the 60s and mid low 70s. Head out and enjoy!

More clouds will blanket the beaches Tuesday. We begin a slight warming trend as a large high pressure system slowly meanders into the area. Expect a cool morning but max temperatures into the upper 60s and mid 70s. Most areas above average.

Fog and clouds will occur Wednesday as temperatures begin to rise. High pressure brings warm and dry air to the region by mid-week. The heat holds through Saturday before another cooling trend begins. Offshore winds will prevail and drop humidity levels. Enjoy!

Two cities, on opposite sides of the world, are united in mourning after deadly mass shootings over the weekend. In both cases, the attacks have left communities shattered while renewing contentious debates over gun control.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Brown University shooting

The person of interest detained in connection with Saturday’s shooting at Brown University has been released from custody after law enforcement officials said evidence “now points in a different direction.” The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured at the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island. In a statement Sunday night, Brown University said there is no immediate threat to the community, even as the suspect remains at large. “We know that this update may prompt numerous questions,” the school said, emphasizing that the investigation remains active.

2⃣ Australia beach shooting

A father and son are suspected of carrying out a massacre at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday. The death toll from the attack has risen to 15, while 27 people remain hospitalized. Australia is now seeking tougher gun laws after police said the father-son duo deliberately targeted the Jewish community as families gathered at a Hanukkah event. The youngest casualty was 10 years old, and one of the victims was a Holocaust survivor who died while shielding his wife from gunfire. The 24-year-old shooting suspect is hospitalized, while his 50-year-old father was killed at the scene by police.

3⃣ Rob Reiner death

Legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, have died, a family spokesperson said Sunday. The Los Angeles Police Department said it responded to a death investigation at Reiner’s home, where they found two people dead. Police have not identified the deceased and said they are investigating the case as an apparent homicide. Reiner’s prolific career included directing iconic films such as “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride” and “A Few Good Men.” His breakout role was as Archie Bunker’s son-in-law on the TV series “All in the Family.”

4⃣ Ukraine peace talks

President Donald Trump’s special envoy said Sunday that progress was made during lengthy US-Ukraine talks in Berlin and that discussions will continue today. The talks come as Trump is intensifying his push for a peace deal in Russia’s nearly four-year-old war. Meanwhile, a barrage of Russian drone and missile attacks over the weekend targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure left
