(LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, Pa.) — Police in Pennsylvania are searching for the gunman wanted for killing a young man and critically wounding his mother during a home invasion in an upscale Philadelphia suburb, officials said.<\/p>\n

Bernadette Gaudio, 61, and her son, Andrew Gaudio, 25, were both shot multiple times at their home in Lower Merion Township around 2:20 a.m. Sunday, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said.<\/p>\n

Bernadette Gaudio managed to call 911 after she was shot, DA Kevin Steele said at a news conference.<\/p>\n

It appears Andrew Gaudio “fought back and tried to help his mom,” Steele said.<\/p>\n

He died from his wounds and Bernadette Gaudio was hospitalized in critical condition, officials said.<\/p>\n

Police are searching for Kelvin Roberts, 42, of Philadelphia, who is wanted on charges including second-degree murder, robbery and burglary, the DA’s office said.<\/p>\n

Police are also looking for a second unidentified person who was involved in the home invasion, Steele said.<\/p>\n

“We’re dealing with dangerous people,” Steele said.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear if the crime was targeted or random, Steele said, adding that the break-in appeared to be through the basement.<\/p>\n

Police zeroed in on Roberts from dash-cam footage from a Lower Merion police car that showed “a white Hyundai Azera, driven by Roberts, leaving the scene of the homicide,” the DA’s office said.<\/p>\n

Police matched the Hyundai Azera to an address on Sansom Street in Philadelphia, officials said. At that address, police showed a photo from the dash-cam footage to someone who identified the driver as Kelvin Roberts, the DA’s office said.<\/p>\n

Bernadette Gaudio’s stolen jewelry box was found at the Sansom Street residence, Steele said.<\/p>\n

As for Bernadette Gaudio’s condition, Steele said she “seems to be moving in the right direction, so we’re hopeful that she will survive.”<\/p>\n

Bernadette Gaudio’s 2004 Green Jeep Cherokee, which was stolen during the home invasion, was recovered on Sunday in West Philadelphia, the district attorney’s office said.<\/p>\n

A $5,000 reward is available for information leading to Roberts’ arrest, authorities said.<\/p>\n
