California police shot and killed former “ER” actress Vanessa Marquez when they visited for a welfare check and she pulled a “BB-type” gun on them, according to a new report.

Cops were called to Marquez’s South Pasadena home around 2 p.m. Thursday after a landlord reported that the woman was in some kind of trouble, Lt. Joe Mendoza of the LA Sheriff’s homicide bureau said at a press conference, The South Pasadenan reported.

“At the time [of the shooting], there was an LA County mental health clinician here with the officers,” Mendoza said. “They began to communicate with her; she became very uncooperative and during that contact, she armed herself with a handgun, she pointed it at the officers and an officer-involved shooting occurred.”

Cops later recovered a BB gun that “resembled a semi-automatic handgun.”

Just another friendly police officer-involved routine shooting. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

You pull a gun of any kind on a police officer and you will likely be shot

[Parley Baer]

I agree. Dumb move on her part.

[Big Red Badger]

Just Dang!

[JudyinCanada]

Or suicide by cop.

Suicide by cop?

[Sirius Lee]

You pull a gun on me and I'll shoot you, too. I'm not going to hang around waiting for you to shoot me in order to determine whether it's a bb gun, pellet gun, or 9mm that you're pointing at me.

Too bad she's dead. She chose poorly.

That girl is pretty. She’d still be alive if she had sense enough not to pull any kind of gun on a cop, BB or otherwise.

Homicide by landlord?

Was she the one on Intervention for a shopping addiction?

“They began to communicate with her; she became very uncooperative and during that contact, she armed herself with a handgun, she pointed it at the officers and an officer-involved shooting occurred.”

Sounds like the poor lady was battling some private demons, and chose the wrong time and place to pull a gun.

Waiting for the BLM idiots to start calling this a staged police execution.

Sad. She was cute. RIP.

I agree. This part: “Cops later recovered a BB gun that ‘resembled a semi-automatic handgun’” sure makes it sound like suicide-by-cop. Drugs or despondency, one of the two, I’d guess.

Suicide by cop......................

If there’s no body camera video to back this up then pardon me if I have my doubts.

I’ll bet her toxicology report is 4-5 pages long.

What kind of drugs must one take to get that messed up?

[bk1000]

Well, she definitely was not guilty!

[conservative98]

It was supposed to be a welfare check. Sounds like she would had been better off if they had just left her alone.

[Responsibility2nd]

Pardon denied.

You hate cops.

Good luck with your life with that attitude.
