A Texas father shot and killed a teenage boy who he found in his daughter’s bedroom early Thursday morning.

Harris County deputies said that the 16-year-old daughter snuck the 17-year-old boy into her bedroom. Her younger brother saw the boy, and notified the father.

When the father asked about the boy, the girl reportedly claimed she did not know him. The man called 911, and then he got into an argument with the boy.

The father said that he opened fire when the boy suddenly moved his hands. The 17-year-old boy died at the scene.

According to The Houston Chronicle, the father complained that he was having panic attacks, and was taken to a nearby hospital. Deputies said that the man appeared to be on medication.

You know as a teenage boy I cannot tell you the number of times that I was almost caught after sneaking into a young lady's room. Always invited of course.

To be honest I used to worry about something like this happening, but looking back I seriously doubt that any of those angry fathers would have opened fire on me. Because even though this was during the wild a wooly days of Alaska's past, we were not animals.

Simply killing somebody in a fit of anger certainly happened, but it was usually a domestic dispute between spouses or a drug deal gone bad.

It seems we are becoming less civilized, instead of more civilized.

And you KNOW, since this is Texas, that this guy will more than likely get off and use the Stand Your Ground defense to do so.
