I wonder what relations were between stepdad and stepdaughter. Who the hell *shoots* at a living person they can’t see clearly? He’s either a pantywaist (shoots at anything that moves), a moron, or a murderer.
Yep -- they can't be good if she is sneaking in the house at 6:00 AM after a night out and she is only 14.
Apparently he called the police at 6:00 AM to report a burglary in progress. Then while he knew the police were on the way he goes down into the basement with his gun and shoots "the burglar" that the police were coming to apprehend -- after supposedly failing to turn on the light switch to the basement to locate his target.
Amazing how he was able to hit the target two out of three shots center of mass in a dark basement without the lights on.
If I'm the police I would look at the stepdad as wanting to teach his stepdaughter a lesson for defying curfew and the call to 911 to report the burglary as evidence of premeditation.
