'General Hospital' actor Johnny Wactor was fatally shot early Saturday when he came upon suspects trying to steal the catalytic converter from his car, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the case. The owner of the car encountered the suspects around 3:25 a.m. near Pico Boulevard and Hope Street, said Officer Jader Chaves, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department,. One of the thieves shot him before all three fled in a vehicle, Chaves said.
' The source said Wactor discovered the men, who were masked, outside his car and confronted them. That is when he was shot. Wactor, 37, left General Hospital in 2022 when his popular character was killed off. At the time, he told Soap Opera Digest he enjoyed the show's large and loyal fan base. 'It was all new to me, and it was a blessing,' he said. 'It made it fun to go to work and then be excited about seeing people react to the storylines you were in.
