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.

Another trigger happy redneck. I remember 30+ years ago when my teenage stepdaughter used to smuggle her boyfriend in, and I found him under the bed. I just booted him out, it never occurred to me that I could just get the gun and waste him. :teeth:

A sibling tells their father there is someone in their sisters room at 2 AM in the morning. I imagine this was rather disturbing to learn as crime is not an unusual occurrence in Houston. Father opens the door with gun in hand and finds a boy in bed with his daughter. The daughter then begins to (emotionally I assume) deny she knows the young man in her bed. Seconds have passed...the father tells the boy who has no business in his home, "Don't move." So the boy moves and get shot. The father did what father's do...protecting his daughter and his home from an unknown intruder. A tragedy to be sure...but justifiable. The father should feel no remorse, he did his job but I hope this stays with the daughter for the rest of her life. Its her fault someone died because she could not tell the truth.

The father kills an innocent teen,
and should feel no remorse?

I have thought for years that I am
happy that I do not live in your world,
Your idiot statement about feeling
no remorse
is the clincher!

Oh how I wish you didn't live in my world. Why don't you stay in yours and stop coming down to mine every year.

Apparently if your thought your daughter was being raped you would slink back out of the room and hide.

Here we go again, everyone jumping to conclusions. Ok, I'll join in since we know nothing more than the article about the facts.

Father is awoken very early in the morning, he works 12 hour shifts and is exhausted. His child frantically tells his that there is someone in the sister's room, an intruder. In panic dad jumps from bed and grabs a pistol, and then rushes to the daughter's room, half asleep and adrenalin pumping through his veins. He enters the room on high alert yet groggy, he notices a very large male with a beard and long hair who appears to be in his 20's, in bed with his daughter. The daughter is awake and appears afraid. "Who are you and what are you doing to my daughter?" the daughter then says, "I don't know daddy, I'm scared, I don't know who he is" At this point the man child in bed makes a sudden move with his arm as if reaching for something, fearing his daughter is about to be threatened the father shoots and kills the intruder.

Where does it say that the shot kid
was "a very large , mid twenties male with a beard"?

Have any of you ever been in a situation where shooting
first and and asking later was not the only option?

When the man enters the bedroom and sees a man in bed with her and she says she does not know who he is then the logical assumption is that a stranger has entered her room to rape her. When he tells the man to not move and he makes a move then the assumption is that he is going for a weapon. Do you let him get that weapon and possibly kill you or do you shoot? I fail to see where the choice is.

It doesn't say that, I was joining you in speculation. From your previous comment I assume you would let the guy rape your daughter rather than shoot him. You see how we can go back and forth with this scenario? Here is what you have Sea Dog, one family's word, one dead body, and no other witnesses. And a lying daughter. That's why the case is turned over to a grand jury. Would you want to be changed with murder if your kid said the guy in bed was a complete stranger and had made what you thought in confusion was a threatening move?

Was she injured, screaming, distraught?
It is lucky that the idiot father did not also shoot the daughter!

I suppose the same folks that idolized Zimmerman
will rally round this Ahole and paint him as a good
family man and a hero!
