Police Seek Persons of Interest in Scott Ruffalo Shooting
Between William Balfour and now the Scott Ruffalo shooting, it's been an amazing and tragic couple of weeks in terms of violent crime in the celeb gossip world.
Beverly Hills police announced Thursday that two "persons of interest" have been ID'd in their investigation into the shooting of Mark Ruffalo's younger brother, 39-year-old Scott Ruffalo - what officials now call an attempted murder.
In a press release issued by police department spokesman Lt. Tony Lee, authorities say that they're looking to question a man by the name of Brian Scofield and a woman named Shaha Mishaal Adham in connection with the shooting.
No further information regarding the suspects' relationship to Scott Ruffalo, seen here with brother Mark and Scott's wife Luzelene, has been released at this time.
A Beverly Hills Fire Department crew responded at about 1:10 a.m. Monday to a report of a man who had fallen in the 400 block of N. Palm Drive in Beverly Hills.
Upon arrival, they found Ruffalo had sustained a head injury - soon discovered to be a gunshot to the head. He is in critical condition and fighting for his life.
