SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KNX) — A woman was fatally shot after her ex-boyfriend broke into her home in San Bernardino Wednesday night, police disclosed Friday. The ex-boyfriend was also found dead following the incident.
Patricia Barragan, 30, was at home with her children in the 1200 block of West Kendall Drive when her ex-boyfriend, Jorge Alberto Duran Garcia, 31, entered the residence shortly after 9:30 p.m., according to San Bernardino police.
Barragan had a temporary restraining order out against Garcia, due to a history of domestic violence, police said.
When Garcia entered the home, Barragan reportedly shot him in self-defense. Garcia was subsequently able to overpower the young mother, grab the gun, and shoot her, police said.
The couple were found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. The children were uninjured, according to police.
