Porn Actor Allegedly Kills 1, Hurts 2 at LA Studio

LOS ANGELES -- Police say a porn actor killed one colleague and injured two others with a prop weapon during a late night showdown at the Los Angeles studio where they all worked.

Police Detective Joel Price says the alleged attacker had been living at the adult entertainment business for several months but his colleagues told him he had to make other arrangements by Wednesday.

Price says Steven Hill attacked a colleague in the back of the building after work Tuesday with a machete-like weapon. Price says two others who heard the man's screams ran to help him and were also attacked before Hill fled the scene.

One of two people who tried to help died in surgery at a local hospital. The others are expected to survive.

The victims' names have not been released.

Maybe he just wanted to "cut him down to size!"

Really, I SERIOUSLY doubt he deserved to die for coming to the other guy's aid. Condolences to his friends and family.

We don't have to worry about the taxpayers footing the bill for this clown's trial 'cause he saved the taxpayers a bunch of money

Porn Actor Accused of Murder Dies After Cliff-Top Standoff in L.A.

A porn actor wanted for allegedly murdering a co-worker with a samurai-style sword has died jumping off a cliff after a day-long stand-off with police, the Los Angeles Times reported late Saturday.

It had earlier been reported that Stephen Clancy Hill, 34, was in police custody after falling from a cliff edge.

Hill, who was wanted for one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder after attacking colleagues at a pornographic film distribution company warehouse in Los Angeles on Tuesday, had been surrounded by police for eight hours on the edge of Canoga Park.

With dusk approaching and Hill continuing to threaten to kill himself, members of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite SWAT unit tried to subdue and apprehend him, Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese told the Times.

Hall then threw himself over the cliff and suffered fatal head injuries in the 50-foot (15m) fall, authorities said.

Early Saturday, SWAT teams had descended on a house in the San Fernando Valley after a tip-off.

Television footage showed the actor, who once played Barack Obama in porn spoof “Palin: Erection 2008,” holding a samurai sword and shouting at police to keep their distance.

Hill, who has appeared in several porn films under the stage name "Steve Driver," was believed to have murdered fellow actor Herbert Wong at the warehouse-style offices of Ultima DVD on Tuesday.

Wong, who had appeared in two films with Hill under the name "Tom Dong," died as he tried to help other staff to escape, the company's owner said.

Hill's rampage appeared to have been triggered by the discovery that he was about to be fired and evicted from the office where he had been living.

Prop weapons are always props AND weapons. Just ask Jon-Erik Hexum.

Someone pulls a Prop weapon on you and you have less than a second to decide shoot or no shoot. I'll bet 99.999% of the time the result is shoot. I'll also bet 99% of the time the D.A. declares it a good shoot.
