According to THE DAUGHTER, she did NOT know the man in question. That is what she told her father. The mindset at 2:00...a stranger is in the house, in his teenage daughter's bedroom...and she claims to not know him. What RESPONSIBLE parent would not be "on edge" with a stranger in his teenage daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night? His reaching for "something" would be very reasonable to expect as reaching for a weapon.
Lessons to be learned...if you want to bang your boyfriend in your parent's house in the middle of the night, WHILE THEY ARE IN THE NEXT ROOM...either don't do it, or don't lie about it and put someone else's life at risk. I have to wonder if she will be prosecuted for manslaughter? This situation is similar to the old "yelling fire in a crowded theater" one. She didn't kill anyone but through her actions (and the young mans) she created the situation that caused it to happen.
So...what is the father supposed to do? "OK, you're in my daughters bedroom in the middle of the night, she doesn't know you. OK, carry on, I'm going back to bed".
1. In the story nowhere does it say the girl claimed she was being raped or attacked. And nowhere in the story does it say that she actually was.
He should go to jail for murder. He messed up, and when you mess up and cost someone else their life, you should go to jail. Period. Hopefully he gets 20-life.

Not if I suspected my daughter knew him and was banging him. That's just me, I'm not part of the American Taliban that supports honor killings.
That's not the question. Say it's just you and your wife in bed and you wake to find someone standing over your bed.
Would you shoot that person ?
