Father Guns Down Unarmed Teen Found In Bed With His Daughter

A Texas father fatally shot a teenager found in his 16-year-old daughter’s bedroom after the girl sneaked him into the house, reports Huffington Post.

The 17-year-old boy was unarmed.

He was discovered around 2:30 a.m. after the girl’s younger brother noticed two feet sticking from underneath his sister’s bed and went to tell his father.

The father, who has not been identified, grabbed his gun and ran to his daughter’s room where he confronted who he thought was an intruder.

The man called 911, and then got into an argument with the teen. The father told police that he opened fire when the teen suddenly moved his hands, according to RawStory.com.

The boy died at the scene. Deputies recovered a handgun from the home.

Investigators later discovered the victim was a friend of the daughter’s whom she had let into the home, the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 55-year-old father suffered panic attacks after the shooting and was rushed to the hospital.
