OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Police say a man found fatally shot at a Southern California residence was one of six people carrying out a home invasion robbery when a resident opened fire. Officers called to the home in Oceanside shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday rendered aid to the 31-year-old man but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Other officers stopped a vehicle and detained several suspects, including a man with a gunshot wound who was then hospitalized in stable condition. Police say the resident’s gunfire struck the man who died but it was not yet known whether the wounded man was also shot by the resident or by one of the other suspects who was armed.
