Soon after a Sonoma County bomb squad robot entered 4555 Harmony Place in Rohnert Park, county SWAT team members quickly learned Roger Hilliard posed no threat. Hilliard, 71, was found dead in the house.

A 911 domestic violence call at 1:35 a.m. Saturday reported that Hilliard had fired a handgun in the house. After Rohnert Park Public Safety officers surrounded the house, city officials called in the county SWAT team.

Members of the SWAT team then created access into the home for the robot to search the home. Hilliard was located and pronounced dead at the scene.

The cause of death is still under investigation, and Rohnert Park police officials released few details about the incident Saturday afternoon.

A woman who answered the phone at the home refused to discuss the incident.
