ESCONDIDO, Calif. – Officers who were investigating the death of an elderly woman at a home in Escondido shot and killed her son after he threatened them with a gun, police said.

The bizarre sequence of events began at 6:48 a.m., when police were notified that a 70-year-old woman, identified as Elizabeth "Betty" Seitz, had died in the 300 block of James Street. Officers arrived at the home shortly after 7 a.m. and began investigating the death of the woman, Escondido police Lt. Justin Murphy said.

About 45 minutes later, officers were inside the home when 40-year-old Damon Seitz, armed with a gun, confronted them and threatened them, Murphy said. An officer shot the man, and they immediately called for paramedics and began life-saving measure, including CPR, the lieutenant said.

The man was taken to Palomar Hospital West, where he was pronounced dead at 8:29 a.m., Murphy said.

The cause of death of the elderly woman had not been determined, but that death was not considered suspicious, the lieutenant said.
