An 80-year-old man jumped from the roof of his home during an early-morning fire that left his wife and 50-year-old son dead, fire officials said.
The blaze erupted at a two-story home in the 4200 block of W. 62nd Street around 1:40 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Authorities said the mother ended up trapped inside and both her husband and son ran back inside to rescue her.
The elderly man was able to escape from the roof, but his son and wife did not make it out.
When fire units arrived, they encountered flames shooting into the air and smoke billowing out of the roof.
