- A homeowner in Newport Beach shot a home intruder on Tuesday morning
- A second suspect was found inside a bush with a 'self-inflicted' gunshot wound
- Police believe that the suspects and family knew each other but it is unclear how
The homeowner opened fire early Tuesday morning when the two men stormed the $5million, 4,709 square-foot property while his family was sleeping.
Heavily-armed police arrived at the gated community off Newport Coast Drive and Pelican Hill Road after a 4.45am 911 call to find one suspect dead and another armed with a gun bleeding out in the middle of the street.
The deceased intruder was bizarrely found with a 'self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head' after fleeing the house, police said.
Neighbors told DailyMail.com that they heard 'screaming' coming from the property, which they believe was being rented by a family of Chinese nationals.
