Monday March 24, 2003
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) A patient at an adult care home was
arrested for investigation of killing an employee during a scuffle,
police said Sunday.
Cathy Ziegler, 44, was booked for investigation of murder. She
got into a fight with another resident of the facility for mentally
impaired adults at about 7 p.m. Saturday and then attacked an
employee who tried to break up the fight, Sgt. Paul LeBaron said.
Lourdes Capitle, 56, of Long Beach, went to her office and
dialed 911. She was taken to a hospital where she died about an
hour later, LeBaron said.
The cause of her death was under investigation.
The fight involved pushing and shoving and no weapons were used,
LeBaron said.
