Deputies from the Apple Valley Sheriff's Station responded to a report of a home invasion robbery at a residence in the 8800 block of 11th Avenue at 4:12 a.m. Monday, Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jodi Miller told the Daily Press. Deputies arrived and were advised that multiple suspects had forced entry into the home, which was occupied by four adults and three children. One of the suspects was armed with a knife and became involved in a physical altercation with one of the home's occupants when the occupant attempted to defend himself and his family with a baseball bat, Miller said. The suspects fled before authorities arrived. One of the suspects was identified as the ex-son-in-law of an occupant of the home, Miller said. He was later located at a nearby home hiding under a bus. He became uncooperative as authorities attempted to take him into custody and Miller said deputies used force. The suspect was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, Miller said.
