Once on scene, police said they went into the house and found Glyer. He'd been shot with a gun.

According to police radio audio obtained by FOX 5, a dispatcher said: "She [Glyer's wife] heard a loud noise and believes her husband has been shot. She believes someone came into the house."

Gleyer's two young children were in the home at the time of the shooting but were not injured, the TV station reported.

At this time, police said they have no reason to believe that there is a wider threat to the community.
