NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn. — A U.S. man fatally shot a masked teenager in self-defence outside his neighbour’s house and then discovered it was his son, state police said. The father had thought it was an attempted late-night burglary.
Police said 15-year-old Tyler Giuliano was shot early Thursday in Connecticut.
A woman who was alone in the house believed someone was breaking in and called the teen’s father, who lives next door. He grabbed a gun, went outside, confronted someone wearing a black ski mask and black clothing and fired when the person went at him with a shiny weapon in his hand, police said.
When police arrived, the teen was lying in the driveway of the woman’s home with gunshot wounds and the father was sitting on the grass. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
“All in all it’s a tragedy,” state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said.
The teen’s father, Jeffrey Giuliano, hasn’t returned a message seeking comment.
No charges have been filed. State police are investigating.
