This is a good Los Angeles Times article but I am pulling just this one piece:

So, it seems to me that by the time the father had told the neighbor Serrano that he needed her help, his wife had already called the Police and they were already at the house. Serrano also called authorities not realizing at the moment the Police were already there and that is why (and when) the Felix son was threatening to shoot the police.

Frances Serrano, who lives on Cypress Road, across the street from where the shooting took place, was coming out of her garage around noon Saturday when her neighbor came bursting out of his own garage.
The man sought Serranos attention.
He said, Help. I need help. My son is in the house, and hes crazy. He has a gun. Hes ready to shoot all the police, Serrano recalled the father saying.
The father was very nervous, Serrano said. He was afraid of his son.
Serrano, 65, said she called authorities, and as soon as she began walking back into her house, she heard gunshots, starting with a loud I mean really loud bang!
Law enforcement and the suspect appeared to be exchanging gunfire, she said.
There were police everywhere, Serrano said. I looked out the window and saw police with rifles. Serrano said she remembered her neighbors son, who she believed was in his mid-30s, as a very nice young man very polite.
