Johnny Wactor, an actor known for the popular series "General Hospital," died at 37. The tragic incident occurred when Wactor tried to prevent thieves from stealing his car. During the confrontation, he was shot, and the bullet struck him directly in the chest. Despite immediate help, the actor died. His death shook both his family and the entire world of show business.
The heroic act of the actor
According to witness accounts, Johnny Wactor sacrificed his life to protect his colleague from work. On May 25, after finishing his shift at the bar (the actor was already a star of "General Hospital" but still worked part-time in his favorite spot), Wactor walked his coworker Anita Joy to her car. He intervened without hesitation when he noticed three men trying to tow his car. One of the attackers pulled out a gun and opened fire. Wactor shielded Anita with his own body, thereby saving her life.
Emotional appeal from the murdered actor's relatives
Last week, the Los Angeles police released surveillance photos showing the three suspects in the crime. The actor's mother, during her speech at Tuesday's public appearance, said:
"I’m asking that anybody that knows anything please come forward. It will help me and his brothers in our healing to know that they’ve been captured and convicted," she said while crying.
