Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Apr 7, 2017

Fashion Emergency:

PAMELA ANDERSON turns the big 5-0 this year, but won't be eating dinner at four-p.m. and using her AARP rewards. Nope, the "Baywatch" hottie just posed for Coco de Mer's brand-new lingerie ads and wears some very skimpy underthings with patent leather heels.
The mom of two loves her unmentionables and tells Voguemagazine that she wears lingerie "for me" and "if anyone else sees it, it's a bonus!" (Lee)

At the local Cop Shop:

Officers with the St. Petersburg Police Department in Florida aren't afraid of anything --except mice.
Security video from the police station shows an officer running for his life after seeing a mouse in the hallway. After spotting the rodent and fleeing, the unnamed cop appears to call for backup on his handheld radio. It's unclear if the mouse was ever caught. (Still)

Pet Patrol:

The dog didn't eat his homework but it did make him shoot himself!
MATTHEW COLE, who's 50, was sleeping in his favorite chair at his house in Lehigh Acres, Florida, when his dog barked, startling him awake.
That's when Matthew accidently knockedhis .25-caliber ACP pistol off a nearby table, causing it to fall to the floor and go off, shooting him in the back of his leg. He called a friend to take him to the hospital and he's expected to be fine. (Myers)
