Texas father shoots boy, 17, to death in teenage daughter's bedroom
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 03-14-2014 | Joseph Serna

Harris County sheriff's deputies in Texas are investigating after a father shot a 17-year-old boy whom he found in his teenage daughter's bedroom.

Officials said Friday the 55-year-old father has not been arrested and investigators will ultimately hand over their report to the grand jury to consider possible charges.

According to KHOU-TV in Houston, the incident began when the girl's brother went to say good night to his 16-year-old sister and saw a pair of feet sticking out from under the bed. The brother alerted their father, who went into the bedroom to investigate.

When the father confronted the boy -- identified as Johran McCormick -- his daughter denied knowing who McCormick was or why he was there. The father called 911 about 2:30 a.m., police said, and a confrontation with McCormick ensued.

According to KHOU, the father told sheriff’s deputies that he saw McCormick drop his hands and he interpreted that as an attempt to grab something to attack him, so he shot the boy once.

Some boy comes into your daughters room, and you execute the kid for it?

What if she really did love the kid? You want to kill the boy that loves your daughter and she loves him?

No dad wants to see their daughter deflowered, but holy cow Batman. Kill the kid outright?

There's a Far Side cartoon, I couldn't find it at all online, where a kid is in bed looking scared while two monsters are underneath, one saying "I've got it again, Larry...an eerie feeling like there's something on top of the bed".

But in lieu of that, this has got to be my favorite one:

Sure he did ... sneaking around in a girl's bedroom ... at night ... boys who get caught doing that, need to sit down, shut up, make absolutely NO moves, and wait for the cops to haul their sorry ass away. People deserve the most reasonably expected results of their actions.

I hope this Dad gets many many years in prison. He shot someone in cold blood. He was not a stranger in the house.

You are as obsessed by race as a Democrat.

The odds of the girl not knowing him are extremely small. Even if the Dad gets off with nothing, the boy’s family is going to sue him in civil court and take him to the cleaners.

Every father knows exactly what the boys who date their daughters are thinking because they used to be boys.

Cleaned up version -
When you have a boy, you have one boy to worry about.
When you have a girl, you have every boy to worry about.

“girl says she does not know him”

Hmmm..My dad busts me with my boyfriend. He’s furious and stomping around with a gun. I can’t run for the hills...so I deny, deny, deny.

IMHO, the dad could have scared the bejesus out of the kid and called the cops in the meantime. Of course, I keep forgetting how mean some of the kids are today.

"It was allegedly only after Johran was shot that she changed her tune and admitted to sneaking him inside her room."

Just as I thought. His daughter lied. Her father is a murderer and justice is lots and lots of jail time.

This happens everyday and the dads don't murder the boyfriend.

“Is it spring break?”

Lent. Apparently someone was fuzzy on what “give up something for Lent” means. /humor

If I’m on the jury, the father will walk, and the boy’s family will have to pay the father for the next twenty years for causing stress and inconvenience in his (the father’s) family.
