Newport Beach police officers responded around 4:45 a.m. to a home at Pelican Hill Road and Newport Coast Drive. A 911 caller stated they shot one of the suspects inside the home, police said.
When officers arrived, they found one of the suspects lying in the street with a handgun and suffering from gunshot wounds. The suspect was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Details about the suspect’s injuries or medical condition were not disclosed.
Investigators also found a second suspect in some bushes near the home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
