Another good guy with a gun foils a home invasion! [View all]

CINCINNATI (AP) — Police in Cincinnati say a man has fatally shot his 14-year-old son in their home, thinking he was an intruder.

Police say the man thought his son had caught the bus for school Tuesday morning, but the teen returned home soon afterward. Police say the man heard a noise in the basement and checked on it with a gun in his hand. Police say the father fired after apparently being startled, hitting the boy in the neck.

Authorities say the father called 911 and the boy was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where he died Tuesday morning.

Another good guy with a gun. If only the teen had a gun he'd be alive and the father would be dead. flamin lib Jan 2016 #3

If you ask me, guns should come with some sort of safety feature. Aristus Jan 2016 #4

Or maybe a gun that will fire only at paper targets. Jerry442 Jan 2016 #6
