"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."

It was a stupid move on the boy's part, but after being told to identify himself, he may have been reaching for a driver's license instead of just responding verbally.

That is just a bad situation all the way around.

However, I do not think I would have pulled the trigger unless I saw him brandish a weapon first. It's hard to say, though, what would actually happen until I was in the situation.
