(CNN) -- A New Jersey father fatally shot his two teenage sons, critically wounded one more and set his home ablaze before police killed him, authorities said Friday.

Police were called to a home in Pennsauken about 10:30 p.m. Thursday and found the home on fire, said Jason Laughlin, a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. Officers found the 54-year-old father in the back of the home holding a gun, a lighter and a can of gasoline, Laughlin said. The man charged the officers, who shot and killed him.

The man's 14-year-old and 18-year-old sons were found dead from gunshot wounds. One was in the street while the other was in the burning home.

The other son,16, was also shot and critically wounded.
