WELL, SHOOT... JUST SHOOT

Why wouldn't he call out? I mean, he has the gun in his hands if it does happen to be an intruder, but, if it's NOT an intruder, at least that person has a chance to identify themselves.

What a moron.

The story has just been updated. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/201.../78672506/


The deceased 14-year-old victim is ^ Georta Mack. RIP.

According to the latest report, Georta's dad dropped the boy off at the bus stop and then dad drove back home.

Georta decided to skip school and sneaked back into the house, hiding in the basement.

When dad armed himself and went to check out the noise in the basement, he was startled and proceeded to just shoot.

So far, there's no indication that dad called out. But, maybe he did and the kid didn't answer? I don't know.

In any case, dad had the option of simply walking outside and calling 911 when he heard the noise; his life was not in danger. He instead chose to shoot at a target he could not see, so now his son is dead.
