Houston dad shoots, kills 17 year old boy found inside daughter’s bedroom

[spookyturtle 9,466]

A Houston-area father fatally shot a 17-year-old boy who was inside his teen daughter's bedroom early Thursday morning, MyFoxHouston.com reported.

The father, who was not identified, was notified by one of his children that there was someone in his 16-year-old daughter's room, the report said. He reportedly found his daughter in bed with the teen.

The confrontation occurred around 2:20 a.m. The father had a gun and asked the teen to identify himself, police said, according to the report. His daughter reportedly told her father that she did not know the teen and that the two were not in bed.

The father said he told the teen not to move, but reportedly saw the teen reach for something, at which point police say the father opened fire. The teen did not have a gun. His daughter later confessed that she did indeed know the teen, the report said.

"You just feel terrible for the families," one neighbor told the station. "You just kind of reflect on both of these families’ lives have changed forever."

The father was taken by ambulance from the home for treatment of an unrelated medical situation. So far no arrests have been made, but detectives told the station that they are going to refer the case to a grand jury.

Mark up another death of a child and another two destroyed families to the joys of having a gun in the home.

I bet Wayne is popping the champagne as I type.

Who's Wayne?

And the kid was probably putting it back in his pants when dad saw him reach for something. What a tragic incident.

Just totally unneccessary. Only in TX, USA does something like that end in death.

Insane.

When you said Wayne I thought you were referring to one of the VJ resident psychos.

No, I don't do that anymore. I'm a reformed poster.

I wonder how long it will be until someone posts that the kid got what he deserved?

Any moment now.

How on earth is he going to argue he felt his life was genuinely in danger? The whole thing is a complete disaster from start to finish. The father should be charged with murder, but there is no good outcome, the daughter was clearly lying to cover up her own guilt so this is never going to be resolved. Too sad, too bad and all because someone felt justified in shooting first and finding out what the situation actually was afterwards.
