Father dies in shooting at Arcadia home as investigators search for intruder

Police are investigating the shooting death of a man in his Arcadia home, as his wife and 13-year-old son arrived at their house, and reported an intruder at their home.

After a 911 home invasion call from the teen, officers responded to the home in the 50 block of Woodland Lane around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.  

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the boy and his mother had pulled into their driveway when they were approached by someone entering their home and were forced by that suspect into the house before the shooting took place.

Police said that the man in the home had armed himself and that there was some sort of confrontation as the two shot at each other. It is not known if the suspect was hit.

When officers arrived, they found a 61-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound, while a 41-year-old woman and 13-year-old boy were unharmed. 

Police recovered at least two firearms from the scene, which were believed to belong to the victim. It is not known if anything was stolen from the home. Detectives believe that this was something personal with the victim.

The father was treated at the scene by Arcadia Fire Department personnel and was transported to a hospital where he died from his injuries.

There are some home security cameras in the area, and police are asking for neighbors to come forward with any information they may have, particularly if they noticed and unfamiliar car parked on the street.
