The incident began after a neighbor called in a report of a man who was seen outside the residence with a gun.

The suspect, Kevin Collier, was getting divorced, and had shown up at his mother-in-law's house. The home was reportedly on fire when officers arrived, according to neighbors quoted in a KFMB CBS report. Collier's 14-month-old daughter was found dead in a truck.
