The mother of General Hospital star Johnny Wactor – who was shot dead in downtown Los Angeles this weekend while protecting a co-worker – spoke out on Tuesday morning, revealing her son’s final tragic moments.
Wactor, 37, was killed early Saturday morning by three men who were trying to steal a catalytic converter from his vehicle, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Wactor had been walking a colleague to her car after their bartending shift when they stumbled upon the thieves. His mother, Scarlett, told NBC News’ Morgan Chesky that the actor initially thought they were towing his car.
