## Transcript

Los Angeles police arrest actor, Michael Jace on suspicion of killing his wife. Police found 40 year old April Jace shot to death Monday night at the couple's Los Angeles area home. Officers were called here at about 8: 30 last night when there were shots fired in the neighborhood. Several neighbors called 911. Police say its unknown exactly what this dispute was about leading up to the shots being fired. TMZ reports the couple's two young sons, both under the age of 10, were inside the house at the time of the shooting. The boys told officers they'd only been home for about ten minutes. They'd just arrived with their mother when they heard gunfire.

Whether or not they saw their mom lying dead in the hallway is unclear. The 48 year old actor, best known for his role as Officer Julien Lowe on The Shield, reportedly called the police himself. LAPD officials told reporters they will continue to investigate what they call a, quote, very unfortunate situation Tuesday. According to April Jace's Facebook page, the couple was just weeks away from their 11th wedding anniversary. Thanks for watching, I'm Brice Sander.
