A suspected case of mistaken identity has left a 32-year-old man dead during a night-time romantic encounter in a Northeast Philadelphia apartment this week. Marc Carrion was shot in the head inside a unit at the Holme Circle Apartments Monday night after police say the man who lived there found the victim hiding in his daughter's bedroom. Carrion was rushed to Aria Health Torresdale Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries early Tuesday morning. nvestigators believe Charles Jordan, 41, opened fire on Carrion because he took him for an intruder, but those who knew the 32-year-old claim the man had been invited into the house by Jordan's 20-year-old daughter, reported the Philadelphia Daily News.

Much clearer.
This has all the makings of another hang ‘em high hysteria. A white father shoots a minority. I’m sure the race baiters are on it already.
I am 14 years younger than my husband, but I know if my husband had snuck into our house when I was 20, dad would have had a problem with that!
Carrion and Brenda Jordan had met only recently. Her Facebook page lists him as a friend.
Carrion is survived by three young children from a previous relationship"
From the story. Here we go again!
[ “Intruder Shot dead in Daughter’s room by Father.”
Passive verb tense — -5 pts.
;-) ]
Tres-Passer Dun Blew Away in Daughter’s room by Her Pappy.
True; if he had creeped into Linux, it might have been otherwise...
She doesn't do a lot of traveling. She's dead.
Marc Carrion? Isn’t carrion dead rotting stuff?
I guess the name fits now that he’s to become worm food.
There’s a lesson here for both (1) young women living with their parents and (2) the men who date them.
To all men out there: If you’re dating a woman of any age who lives with her parents, don’t go to her house unless invited by her parents. And especially don’t crouch in her room to “hide” yourself - that will just make you look suspicious. And don’t ever, ever struggle with the parent who finds you.
As did I.
You opine: “We are taught to try to get control of the situation rather than just blowing away when we see something... IF the lover tried to attack him or something thats a different story...”
try reading the story? Father discovers a stranger crouching in the bedroom of his daughter in the dark of night.- what would YOU do, invite him for a beer conference?
in story: “ stranger crouching in the corner.
A struggle ensued and Jordan shot Carrion from a revolver.”
Lesson = if you don’t want to chance a bullet in the head from a father protecting him daughter and his home in the dark of night - don’t be hiding in the daughter’s bedroom. His momma forget to teach him that?
- and just HOW did he get there? Front door? Window?
He WAS an INTRUDER.
The daughter’s relationship with the croucher was certainly ruined.
“because he thought the man was an intruder” my take was “the man” is a way to describe authority/the government in general, so the father thinks government is an intruder.
you have heard that slang phrase “workin’ for the man now huh?”
BINGO
Sanest pot yet
That should be "blowed away." "Blew away" implies a Big Wind carried him off.
“Poor writing. Was the father crouching in his daughter’s bedroom?”
You could also read that as his daughter was dead, and her father shot her ex lover as he cowered behind the bed?
The lesson?
Never sneak into another man’s house at night. It is a bad idea, a very bad idea.
A “shadowy figure” isn’t a threat, unless it’s pointing a gun at you or someone you care about, charging at you with a weapon, ect....ect.
I have lots of children in my house. I’m not gonna go and open fire just because I hear someone walking in the middle of the night. Of course, everyone’s home situation is different, and security is done on a case by case basis. If I lived alone and heard someone walking in my house at 3AM, you can bet your ass I’m gonna be at DEFCON1. LOL
