Barricaded Suspect, Altadena, dies due to apparent self-inflicted gun shot wound.
Sheriff’s Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting of a woman that resulted with the suspect barricading himself in a residence on the 3200 block of North Lincoln Avenue, Altadena Sunday Afternoon.
Sheriff Homicide Detectives have learned that during a domestic dispute between a mother and her son, the son (suspect) produced a gun and fired multiple rounds at his mother (victim) striking her. When deputies responded to the location, the suspect barricaded himself inside the residence and refused to exit. A Special Weapons and Tactics team from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Special Enforcement Bureau, was called out and took control of the situation.
After repeated attempts to have the suspect exit the residence peacefully, the team made entry and found the suspect deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gun shot wound.
The victim was transported to a local hospital where she is listed in stable condition.
The identity of the suspect will be released by the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.
