PINELLAS PARK — When the yellow house became a crime scene Saturday night, several neighbors said it came as no surprise.
They had gotten used to the sight of a police car parked outside, just as they had gotten used to the after-hours screaming matches spilling out of 6082 96th Terrace.
"It's almost like we saw it coming," said next-door neighbor Tony Fisichella, 59.
Two Pinellas Park officers responding to a domestic violence call at 8:48 p.m. met with a woman outside the home, Sgt. Michael Lynch said. Inside, they found her son, shot dead.
Her husband then started shooting at officers, who returned fire, Lynch said.
The husband died at Northside Hospital from his injuries.
Property records and neighbors said the Bogusiewicz family has lived in the small yellow house for two decades. Waldemar and Irena, from Poland, had three children, one of whom still lived at home. Friends of Adrian Bogusiewicz, 25, mourned him on social media Sunday.
Neighbors described Waldemar, 59, as a depressed man scrambling to make ends meet. They said he was prone to erratic behavior, such as fighting with neighbors and speeding down the street to antagonize kids riding bikes.
Police said Sunday that the couple had been arguing about who was going to buy more beer. They said Waldemar was drunk.
Irena, 58, left the house and called the police. Inside, father and son argued. Police said Waldemar shot his son several times in Adrian's bedroom.
With Irena, officers entered the house unaware of the shooting. Waldemar held a gun and yelled at the officers to leave, police said. Irena ran from the house, yelling that her husband had a gun.
Then he started shooting, and police fired back.
Later, searching the house, officers said they found several guns in the son's bedroom and the master bedroom.
Neither officer was injured. They are on paid administrative leave pending the investigation. Lynch said they are Officer Michael Jasiukiewicz, who has been with the agency since September 2012, and Officer Jeremy Copeland, since April 2015.
The first few years the Bogusiewicz family lived in the cul-de-sac, they socialized at cookouts and seemed friendly. But after a couple of years, neighbors said, they withdrew, and could often be heard arguing.
"When we first moved here, we were kind of warned to stay away," said Mike Douglas, 47, a neighbor.
Lynch said Pinellas Park police records show a call for service in December 2015, when father and son were having an argument. No crime occurred.
Waldemar was laid off a few years ago, Fisichella said.
"The poor guy," Fisichella said. "He was depressed about that, and he wasn't sleeping well."
Waldemar did air conditioning work and fixed cars, but the family bickered about money, Fisichella said. State corporate records show he owned Bay Comfort Air Conditioning Corp.

When the gunshots started that night, Fisichella peeked out his window. He heard clusters of six or seven shots at a time from inside the house, then heard cops shooting outside. He had known his neighbors kept guns.
"It was just a matter of time before he went off," Fisichella said.
