Police kill actor at party
An American actor has been shot by a police officer at a Hollywood Hallowe'en party after he pointed a fake gun at him.
Anthony Dwain Lee was shot several times by Officer Tarriel Hooper, who had been called, along with a second officer, to the Beverly Hills mansion after neighbours complained of noise.
Lee, 39, appeared in the 1997 movie Liar Liar, starring Jim Carrey and on several television programmes, including NYPD Blue and ER.
The shooting took place in the early hours of Saturday morning at a crowded party of costumed guests, many of them actors and other entertainment industry professionals, according to the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
The Los Angeles police department said that when Lee saw the officers he pulled what looked like a handgun and pointed it at Officer Hooper.
The officer, fearing for his life, fired several shots from his service pistol, wounding Lee, who died later of his injuries.
Officer Charlotte Broughton, a spokeswoman for the LAPD, said many of the party-goers were in costume.
