Two Suspects Sought In Mark Ruffalo's Brother Shooting

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Police are seeking two people they want to question about the shooting of actor Mark Ruffalo's brother.

The Beverly Hills Police Department identified two people as "persons of interest" Thursday afternoon. Police say they want to question the pair, Brian Scofield and Shaha Mishaal Adham, as part of an attempted murder investigation.

They say Scofield is about 25 years old and Adham is about 27 years old. Both live in the Los Angeles area.

A publicist for Mark Ruffalo confirmed on Wednesday that the actor's 39-year-old brother was clinging to life after being shot in the head early Monday.

Police say Scott Ruffalo remains in critical condition. A possible motive has not been released.

Mark Ruffalo's spokeswoman had no comment on the information released by police.

I hope that he's OK.

I feel for the family. I hope he recovers and the person that shot him goes to jail for a v. v. v. long time.

Wow, it's a good thing for Mark Ruffalo's brother that we now know other films Mark has been in besides "Zodiac".

[ScoutandBuckGoodDogs]

I was thinking the SAME THING!!! Does it really matter? Zodiac is probably enough to place him, maybe add one more.

Mark is a very talent actor. I'm surprised so many people on here don't know who he is.

Hope his brother will be ok.

I think Mark needs a better publicist.

[jukesgrrl]

Maybe he doesn't have one on purpose. Some people would rather be working actors than "stars."

[ahoyhoy]

Absolutely! He is a working actor who chooses excellent roles, regardless of blockbuster potential.

He has been great in so many films, I feel bad that many of the posters here don't know who he is.
If you see his name on the box- rent it.

Love Mark ever since You Can Count On Me in 2000. My heart goes out to Scott and the whole family.

How come HP gets to exploit this tragedy with a top left headline but I can't make wisecracks? Two wrongs make a satire.

[VladdyTrout]

Mark Ruffalo is a good actor. He played Dave Toschi in David Fincher's Zodiac.

[PuddinPie]

Mark who?

[ROBOT8]

WHO'S MARK RUFFALO?

[Eusebio]

I'll ask the same question I would have asked had it been Mark Ruffalo who was shot in the head: Who is Mark Ruffalo?

[Bitsko]

Why so much about Mark Ruffalo when it was his brother who was unfortunately shot?

[whit4brains]

Because Mark is an actor and more well known than his brother Scott the hairdresser?

[trollsbwild]

Terrible news. Hope Scott pulls through.

[ConcernedAboutRFuture]

Oh how terrible! I wish him a speedy recovery!
