Police say an elderly woman was killed at the Santa Barbara home of actor Ron Ely, most renown for his role as Tarzan in the 1960s.
There have been conflicting reports on whether or not that woman was Ely’s 81-year old wife, Valerie Lundeen. According to Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Lt. Erik Raney, deputies found the elderly woman dead. Police engaged with a suspect, who was ultimately killed in a deputy-involved shooting. No officers were reported hurt. Ely was not injured and has been reported to be alive and well.
