A 21 YEAR-OLD PRUNEDALE MAN IS DEAD. THAT AFTER HE GOT INTO A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH HIS 75 YEAR-OLD GRANDFATHER. THE OLDER MAN FLED, AND THE 21 YEAR-OLD WENT HOME TO HIS MERIDIAN ROAD MOBILE HOME. THE 21 YEAR-OLD, WHO TOLD POLICE OFFICERS HE WOULD PEACEFULLY SURRENDER HIMSELF AFTER EATING DINNER, INSTEAD SET HIS MOBILE HOME ON FIRE AND THEN FATALLY SHOT HIMSELF. THAT HOUSE FIRE SPARKED A BRUSHFIRE THAT FIREFIGHTERS WERE ABLE TO KEEP DOWN TO JUST A COUPLE OF ACRES.
