(MI)Pontiac gun battle during home invasion leaves father killed, one suspect shot, injured

Adrian Contreras died in a Pontiac gun battle this morning inside his childhood home where he was raising his own family.

Investigators say two intruders broke into the home at 3:25 a.m. at 839 Inglewood, just north of Caesar Chavez, firing multiple shots. Contreras, 27, died from multiple gunshot wounds, the Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office said. A man suspected in the killing is in custody in a local hospital. He also was shot in the incident, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. Two other suspects were caught after the shooting.

"He was a good guy," said neighbor Felix Almanza, 26, of Contreras. Almanza also grew up on the tight-knit street not far from GM's Pontiac powertrain plant. "It just sucks because he has a kid and another on the way. He knew his wife and kid came first."
