Source: AP
LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on television, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of fatally shooting his wife after calling 911 and telling an operator that he shot her, police said.
Detectives were investigating whether the couple's financial or other marital difficulties might have played a role in the killing.
Jace, who appeared on the hit FX series "The Shield," was being held on $1 million bail after being accused of shooting his wife multiple times on Monday night during an argument in their home in the quiet, modest Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles police Detective Dean Vinluan said a printout of the incident history indicated that Jace called 911 and told the operator that he shot his wife.

(24,221 posts)is exactly what happens in your average murder in this country.
A spouse calls 911 and tells them they just killed their husband or wife.
Then they sit down and wait for the cops to show up.
Very sad.
A gun in the house increases the likeliness of spousal murder so that doesn't help the odds.

(17,196 posts)Michael Jace's bankruptcy filing listed debts between $500,000 and $1 million. Much of the debt appeared to be related to his home, with an additional $22,000 owed in state and federal income taxes. More than $20,000 of his tax delinquency was owed to the state of California for the year 2008. He agreed to a payment plan, but had fallen behind as recently as December, records show.
