The estranged husband of a Big Bear-area woman was shot and killed Wednesday when he broke into her residence, they struggled for control of a gun and it fired, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.

Kyle McWilliams, 33, died at a hospital.

Southern California News Group is not identifying the woman because she has not been arrested or charged.

Deputies responded to a report of a domestic disturbance with shots fired about 11:20 p.m. in the 700 block of Leonard Avenue in the community of Sugarloaf, located southeast of Big Bear Lake. They arrived to find McWilliams suffering from gunshot wounds. Investigators determined that McWilliams forced his way into the home and that a fight ensued, during which McWilliams and his wife fought for the gun and the gun went off, a news release said.

The woman was interviewed and released. A report will be submitted to the District Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges.

Investigators ask that anyone with information on the case contact Detective Tray Phillips at 909-387-3589 or leave tips anonymously at the We Tip hotline at 800-782-7463 or the We Tip website at wetip.com.
