A 911 call that Shannen Doherty
put to save her fan's life was released on Sunday, December 9. The
former "Beverly Hills 90210" star recently noticed that one of her
Twitter followers in New Jersey was suicidal and contacted authorities
to prevent the unwanted incident from happening.
Doherty was concerned by a tweet from a fan, a 27-year-old woman, who
threatened to shoot herself. "This is going to sound incredibly
strange," she told a police dispatcher
on the call. "My name is Shannen Doherty and I'm an actress. I am on
Twitter, sadly, and there is a girl that is threatening to shoot herself
and she lives somewhere over there. I'm completely untrained to deal
with somebody threatening to commit suicide, especially via Twitter."
Doherty then gave them the Twitter information and stayed on the line
just in case the police needed her to speak to the fan. "My security
guys actually told me to block her, because she’s super-aggressive and
does very erratic things. I'm sitting here, like, you know, freaking out
and held hostage and I can't even do anything," Doherty said further.
Police came to the woman's house and found out that she was okay.
Doherty had asked the police to give her the news and once she knew that
the fan was fine, she tweeted "Thanks". However, before she put down
the phone, the dispatcher let her know he was a fan. "All my co-workers
can't believe who I'm on the phone with," the dispatcher said. "They all
want your Twitter account."
