Deputies: Dad fatally shoots teen boy found in daughter’s bedroom
snip
According to detectives, his 16-year-old daughter let a 17-year-old boy in the
house and snuck him into her bedroom.
Her younger brother went to say good night and saw two feet sticking out under
the bed, detectives said. He then went to get his father.
The father walks in and asks questions, but his daughter claims not to know the
male teen. The father then called 911, but an argument ensued with the teenage boy.
The father told police the boy dropped his hands as if to grab something, so
the man opened fire. The teen died at the scene.

This detail makes all the difference to me. Clearly, this man did not charge into his daughter's bedroom hellbent on killing the boy.
