"ER" ACTRESS, VANESSA MARQUEZ, SHOT AND KILLED BY A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE OF THIS [VIDEO]

THURSDAY Actress, Vanessa Marquez, shot and killed by a police officer in South Pasadena, Carlifornia, US. The 49-year-old who played the character of Nurse Wendy Goldman on popular medical TV show, ER, was shot after an officer responding to
a welfare check at an apartment complex for someone "who was possibly suffering from a medical condition" mistook her BB gun for a handgun.

According to police reports, an officer did find a woman "having seizures" who was "possibly suffering from mental health issues," the woman allegedly "became uncooperative" and 'appeared to be unable to care for herself."

A county mental health expert was brought in to assist and authorities "continued to speak to [the woman] for over an hour and a half in an attempt to offer her medical care," the sheriff’s department continues.
The woman was described as seemingly “gravely disabled” by sheriff’s Lt. Joe Mendoza.

She was shot and killed after she allegedly “armed herself” and turned the apparent weapon on law enforcement, sheriff’s officials said.

South Pasadena police fired on her and she was taken to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 2:36 p.m., according to the sheriff’s department and a coroner’s spokeswoman.

Further information about the shooting was not immediately available, including how many officers fired on the woman, the status of the officer or officers involved, their names and the extent of the woman’s fatal injuries.
