An investigation was underway Tuesday into a reported home invasion in Newport Beach.

Newport Coast Drive was closed between Ocean Ridge Road and Ridge Park Road due to police activity, according to the Newport Beach Police Department.

Officers sent to the area around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday found a family inside a Newport Coast home, and investigators believe the homeowner fired shots during the alleged home invasion, Fox11 reported.

One suspect was taken into custody and a possible second suspect left the home, went into the hillside area and was being sought, according to the station. A SWAT team was also called in, and the investigation was continuing.
