Per the entire article, Guzman initated the assualt of Reed, and Guzman had been forbidden to enter the house without an adult present. The daughter is not an adult and has no right to change the rules set by the father, who is the homeowner.
I'll buy that.
Oops. Nope, Reed started the beating, not the kid:
Her dad came inside asking, "Where is he?" Morgan tried to pretend nothing was unusual, but eventually pointed to the closet, court documents state.
Reed opened the door to find Guzman sitting with his back to the wall. Reed began beating Guzman in the face with the pool stick. Morgan said Guzman kept saying, "Stop, I'll leave," but her dad wouldn't stop even though Guzman was bleeding, she told police.
Reed left the bedroom, the teenagers closed the door and began pulling Morgan's dresser in front of it. Someone then fired four shots through the bedroom door. After the first shot, Guzman turned away from the door and was struck in the back with a bullet. He immediately couldn't feel or move his legs, Morgan told police.
This dad is toast. The kid was cornered, unarmed and offering to retreat but wasn't allowed to. The dad is getting it up the keester for the rest of his life. Not that he didn't have reason to be angry, but it's over for him.
