‘Shield’ Star Michael Jace Calls Cops To Report He Shot And Killed His Wife
A truly heartbreaking story is unfolding this morning. Actor Michael Jace, best known for his role in the TV series “The Shield”, called cops Monday night to report he had shot and killed his wife.
Law enforcement sources say the 48-year-old actor called police around 8:30 last night to report the shooting. “I shot my wife.” He allegedly told the officers. Neighbors had reported hearing shots fired inside the home, and that’s when police received the call from Jace.

Obviously, the kids were traumatized, and were later taken to the police station. It took Children’s Services nearly 4 hours to pick up the kids from the station. They are now staying with a family member.
