Mark Ruffalo's brother dies after being shot in the head

The brother of actor Mark Ruffalo, who was shot in the head during a bizarre shooting last week in Beverly Hills, died of his wounds, officials said this morning.

More than a week after the shooting, little is known about the details of the case. Two people wanted in connection with the shooting turned themselves in to police Monday afternoon, authorities said.

Shaha Mishaal Adham, 26, and Brian Burton Scofield, who police called “persons of interest” in last week’s shooting, surrendered to the Beverly Hills police around 1:30 p.m., Beverly Hills police spokesman Tony Lee said in a news release.

Adham was booked on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held without bail. Scofield was booked for a misdemeanor traffic warrant, according to the press release. Police provided no other details about the circumstances of the shooting.

Scott Ruffalo, 39, a hair stylist, was found with a gunshot wound to the head on Dec. 1 at his apartment in the 400 block of North Palm Drive in Beverly Hills. Mark Ruffalo’s publicist, Jessica Kolstad, said last week the actor’s brother was hospitalized and in critical condition.

While teacher's aids get laid off from our schools... while our students work on 1980's computers if they're lucky... while teachers can't get paid because the payroll system is severely flawed... while a staggering, appalling number of Los Angeles kids drop out of high school... Admiral Brewer decides he will walk away from his miserable failed performance at the tune of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

As a taxpayer, as a parent of four kids in LAUSD, I DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY

There's a reason prisons keep getting built and funded. There is a very powerful prison guard union.

It is time for us LAUSD parents to bond together, to organize, and to demand accountability for the sake of our children and the future of the Los Angeles.

NO MORE PLASMA FLATSCREENS

NO MORE TOXIC SCHOOL SITES

NO MORE UNQUALIFIED LAUSD SCHOOL CHIEFS

Enough is enough. Who's with me?
