Florida teen fatally shoots masked intruder who turned out to be his father<\/a>\u201d \u2014 that\u2019s the headline at a Washington Post news item that I have access to until I blow through my monthly allotment of views.<\/p>\nSounds like the sort of article you\u2019ve seen before: \u00a0a shooting of a person that was believed to be an intruder but really wasn\u2019t. \u00a0A son sneaking in because he didn\u2019t want Mom & Dad to know just how late he was out, for instance.<\/p>\n
Except in this case, this hint at mistaken identity masks a story in which the 18 year old\u2019s estranged father broke into the home and had a gun to his mother\u2019s head when the son heard cries for help and emerged from his bedroom with a rifle, which he shot at the man, killing him. \u00a0Because the man was wearing a ski mask and \u201cSWAT\u201d-type tactical gear, only after he pulled the trigger did he recognize that it was his father, due to the tattoos, but that doesn\u2019t change the essentials of the story.<\/p>\n
