Old people tend to be a bit fearful and jumpy and their reactions a bit slower. It's possible he had fired before his mind registered it was his own kid. By most accounts they seem to have gotten along great and were close. Sucks.
Yeah, dad was pretty old to have a teen.
The story has changed a bit, with police confirmations.
Dad didn't drive Georta to the bus stop, he watched his son walk towards it and then Georta called him and said he was at the bus stop.
When dad heard noises, grabbed his gun, and headed into the basement shortly thereafter, Georta reportedly jumped out at him and yelled "Boo!" That's when dad shot him in the neck.
Anyway, the prosecutor has announced that no charges will be filed against dad.
