ex-Music Big-Wig Cut With Matchete by Girlfriend's Suicidal ex-Husband!

Former music industry executive was in critical condition Monday in Los Angeles after his girlfriend's suicidal ex-husband held him and the woman hostage for more than five hours and cut him with a machete.

According to police Sgt. Alex Kim, the hostage situation unfolded early Sunday at the woman's Woodland Hills home, 
The victim, Jerry Sharell, was cut several times on the neck, Kim said. Sharell worked with the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt and Motley Crue during a career as music executive dating back to the 1970s.
The woman eventually was able to get away and call police.
Arriving officers ordered the suspect to drop the machete. By the time he did, he had slit his own wrists.
A neighbor told KCBS-TV that the suspect arrived on a motorcycle and pulled out a machete and a bouquet of flowers before entering the house. He also had a scalpel, officials said.
"He asked his ex-wife to watch as he killed himself," Sgt. Jeff Nuttall told the station.
Sharell and the suspect remained hospitalized Monday in critical but stable condition, officials said.
The woman also was injured during the struggle to get away. She was not hospitalized.
