Teen Girl Shot, Killed by Stepdad While Trying to Sneak Back Into House

A teenage girl from Colorado Springs was shot and killed by her stepfather early this morning after being mistaken for a home invader.

The unidentified 14-year-old was apparently attempting to sneak back into her house after a night out when she was shot by her stepdad.

Local police say the man called 911 around 6 a.m. to report a burglary in progress. Officers responding to the scene found the injured teen in the basement.

Wow, how tragic. I can't imagine the emotions that poor guy must be going through. Our hearts and prayers go out to the girls family.

It begs the question, though: What was a 14 year old girl doing out until 6 AM?

Chasing old men?

You reap what you sew and in this case, the teenage girl failed to head the boundaries set by her parents which are in place for her protection. She violated those and has paid the ultimate price. It's sad, but like alcohol related cases, there's no turning back.

My son has learned these lessons well and staying away from trouble

There's an old sayin'..."nothing good happens after midnight"...not universally true, but...sad way for everybody to find out.  Hope the family can recover from this.
