Three days of tragedy

 The body count continues to rise in Australia, where a mass shooting took place over the weekend with an antisemitic bent. More than 15 people have died, including one of the shooters. The other is in custody.

Back at home, Brown University was rocked with a shooting on Saturday where three people were killed. A person of interest in the case was brought in, then released. No motive yet on this one.

On Sunday, actor-filmmaker Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michelle, 68, a producer and photographer, were killed, allegedly by Reiner's son, Nick, 32, who is in custody, with bail set at $4 million.

Reiner was a writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and that led to him and cast member Leigh French appearing on Gomer Pyle, USMC, during that series' final season. While on All in The Family, Reiner also took time to write episodes of ABC's short-lived sitcom, The Super, starring Richard Castellano. In 1976, Reiner, with then-wife Penny Marshall (Laverne & Shirley), appeared on his father Carl's short-lived series, Good Heavens, also for ABC.

Reiner's greatest success was in front of the camera as a director, helming films as diverse as "This is Spinal Tap", "Stand by Me", "When Harry Met Sally", and "A Few Good Men". More recently, he'd returned to acting in front of the camera in Hulu's The Bear, and in the recent "Spinal Tap" sequel.

The panel on The View reflect on Reiner and the other tragedies. Ana Navarro sounds off on a certain narcissist who mocked Reiner......

But, that's not all, folks.

Word came across the wires in the last hour that daytime icon Anthony Geary, 78, had passed away in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where he'd relocated after retiring from television a few years ago.

Geary made his television debut on Room 222, and would later appear with Reiner on All in The Family, then transitioned to daytime in Bright Promise, and The Young & The Restless before reuniting with Promise head writer Gloria Monty, who created the character of Luke Spencer for Geary in 1979 on General Hospital. Geary would remain with the show, taking lengthy periods off, until retiring in 2017. Geary's appearance on Family was included on an LP compilation of material from the show, released by Atlantic Records, and, likely, out of print.

Rest in peace.
