The woman, who was not identified, told investigators her son had been acting erratically and set her on fire, though authorities did not say how.

Rancho Cucamonga, California — A 54-year-old man lit his mother on fire and then locked himself inside a Southern California home for five hours before surrendering to authorities Monday, officials said.

Deputies responding to a domestic violence incident before dawn found the 73-year-old woman suffering from burns in a Rancho Cucamonga neighborhood, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jodi Miller told reporters. The woman ran from the house after the alleged attack and got help from a neighbour in the city about 45 miles east of Los Angeles, Miller said.

The suspect periodically shouted at sheriff's deputies during a standoff but he was detained around midday, Miller said.Miller identified him as Gilbert Banuelos and told the newspaper that he was on probation stemming from a prior case involving resisting a police officer. She did not elaborate.Neighbouring homes were evacuated during the standoff and residents were allowed home after the arrest, the Daily Bulletin said.
