The angry father was apparently alerted by the girl's younger brother around 2 a.m. after he saw two feet under her bed in his north Harris County home Thursday.

A Texas father fatally shot a 17-year-old boy he caught hiding in his 16-year-old daughter's bedroom early Thursday morning, deputies say.

The father was apparently alerted by the girl's younger brother around 2 a.m. after he saw two feet under her bed in their north Harris County home.

When the girl's dad confronted the teens, deputies say his daughter at first denied knowing who the boy was.

It was when the boy made a sudden move, as if to grab something, the 55-year-old man opened fire, shooting the boy once and killing him at the scene, said deputies.

Authorities say his daughter later told them she let the boy, who has not been publically identified, inside her bedroom.

Neighbors, who say the family recently moved in, were shocked by the tragedy.

"Oh my god! They just moved in here like a week ago. Literally a week ago," one neighbor told KHOU.

The neighbor described the family as extremely quiet, adding, "I never heard a peep out of them."

The girl's father was taken to a hospital after feeling sick. He's believed to suffer unrelated health problems, KHOU reported.

The shooting is being called an open and ongoing investigation by deputies who, as of Thursday evening, had not released the names of the victim or shooter.

I once chased a boy who was secretly in room with my daughter. They were about the same ages as in this incident. He hightailed it out of the house; however, I didn't have a gun. Even if the teens had been having consensual sex, the boy would not have been charged with statutory rape because of the closeness of their ages.
