SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ — A man is dead after driving an SUV into a San Tan Valley home on Wednesday evening, where a resident inside opened fire.

Pinal County Sheriff's Office deputies responded near Hunt Highway and Magma Road just after 6:30 p.m., after receiving multiple 911 calls about the incident.

Vaughn's family identified the man killed as Jewell Vaughn, a father of five and a grandfather of one. PCSO confirmed he was 34 years old.

According to PCSO, Vaughn drove an SUV into the home, injuring both an adult male and adult female resident inside. Photos from the scene show significant damage, with the vehicle appearing to have gone through the front of the home and into the backyard.

After the crash, one of the residents of the home opened fire. Vaughn was pronounced dead a short time later by area medical staff.

The male resident was taken into custody and interviewed by PCSO detectives before being released. He was then transported by ambulance to a Valley hospital for injuries sustained during the initial incident. The female resident was also treated and transported to a hospital. Both are expected to survive.

Investigators are not saying whether they believe Vaughn intentionally drove into the home or if there was a mechanical or medical condition that caused the crash.

First of all, 34 years old with 5 kids and 1 grandkid. Crikey! Then the guy drives completely through a house all the way to the back yard at which point the homeowner opens fire on the driver and kills him.

Yeah, this is Arizona where everyone is armed most of the time it seems but there has to be more to this story that hasn't been reported yet? FYI,

San Tan Valley is a rapidly growing extreme southeastern part of the massive Phoenix metro area sprawl. It's about 25 miles from where I am.

FYI, Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the U.S.
