The man's son was in the house at the time of the shooting.
"We're not sure if he witnessed it, but we do believe he made the 911 call," said Lt. Holly Francisco.

Obviously that was not the case.

BREAKING NEWS Per FOX 11 LA:
14 year old son of ICE agent arrested for murdering his father in Carson. Reportedly used dad’s own gun.
Your link has been updated - looks like the son was arrested and BTW a shot to the leg if it hits an artery (femoral) can be fatal in a couple of minutes or so I’ve read.
New lead paragraph:
“The 14-year-old son of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was arrested after the agent’s shooting death Wednesday night in a Carson home, investigators said Thursday morning.”
Just FYI.
WOW.........looks like party time in the Justice Dept Executive Dining Room to celebrate another agents’ death.
You are right! A ruptured femoral artery will bleed out pretty quickly! I almost lost a patient in the ER when the doctor thought the leg wound was only superficial I alerted the doctor that the patient was unconscious and had a weak pulse. He returned to take a better look and after resuscitating and stabilizing him, the patient went to OR to repair the femoral artery. It was 1971, in Bedford Stuyvesant. Gang-related.
RIP.
