Another tragic example of how holding a gun influences the way you perceive the world:

There's something not right about that story. Why was the woman's call to the neighbor? Why did no one call 911? Weird!!

There doesn't seem to be confirmation that the teen had a weapon and if he did why did he go after his Father with it? Did the Father have a mask on too?

They talked about this on the radio today. I'm not sure how much of it is true, but from what I understand, and what was not written in that particular report, was that the neighbor was also the man's sister. So it wasn't a phone call to just any neighbor, it also happened to be a phone call to her brother.

Regardless, its an absolutely tragic story

Yeah...the link in the original post takes you to a more detailed report now from what was there this morning. Still a strange story. I can't imagine being the Father Shocked

I would have said dad its me Tyler, as soon as I seen my father, before I even moved another inch. I don't see why he wouldnt have.

"He confronted someone in a ski mask and opened fire when the person came at him with something shiny in his hand, police said."

.
Maybe there was an underlying issue no one has brought up or knew about.

I've read several different versions of this story. Apparently, the son was holding a knife when he was shot and died of multiple gunshot wounds.
