A hearth in northern Sacramento County led to the dying of a person who barricaded himself inside a house

A person died Tuesday afternoon after barricading himself inside a north Sacramento County dwelling and presumably setting the home on fireplace, authorities stated.

The incident occurred at a house within the 2400 block of Coated Wagon Circle in Elvert. The residential space is positioned northeast of Rio Linda between Gibson Ranch Regional Park and Cherry Island Golf Course.

Initially, deputies had been referred to as to the house simply after 4 p.m. for a home dispute, stated Sgt. Amar Gandhi, spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Workplace. The 911 name reporting a home dispute ended earlier than dispatchers might get extra info.

Gandhi stated there was a chance that one of many males was armed when he allegedly barricaded himself inside the home, however he stated it was unclear if the person was armed. He stated preliminary reviews of photographs fired inside the house seemed to be unfounded.

Aerial footage from KCRA’s news helicopter Flames had been seen popping out of home windows and thru the roof, whereas thick black smoke engulfed the home. Firefighters attacked the hearth however later took a defensive place to forestall the hearth from spreading to close by properties.

Firefighters extinguished the hearth and located one particular person useless inside, stated Capt. Parker Wilborn, a spokesman for the Sacramento Metropolitan Hearth District. He stated the person is believed to have began the hearth by barricading himself inside the home, however the reason for the hearth is below investigation.
