Police say a 16-year-old boy dialed 9-1-1, saying his stepfather shot his mother. Three other children under the age of 10 were also in the home. Officers later found the stepfather more than a block away in his car. Around 3 a.m., they said he allegedly brandished a gun, ignoring commands to disarm, and two officers shot and killed him.
