Did the idiot ask who was there?
If he knew his daughter was out, what, did he forget her name?
Sorry. Trigger happy moron. All for defending your property, but you start by yelling a warning at least.
If I were the police or the Army Ranger biological father, I would be asking some tough questions of the “hero”.
It’s 6:00 AM — who burgles a house at that time in the morning?
When you locked up the house the night before, did you know that your stepdaughter was not yet home?
Did you deliberately lock her out??
Why didn’t she have a key to the house???
Have you ever known her to enter the house through that basement window before??
Have you and her mother been having trouble with her, as in disputes over staying out past curfew??
