Georta Mack is the second person I've read about in less than two weeks who was mistaken for an intruder and shot to death by a parent in their own home.
A woman in Florida, who happens to be a 911 dispatcher for the Sheriff's office, thought there was a burglar in her home. She shot, only to discover she'd hit her 27-year-old daughter.
Dad is a police officer and former undercover narcotics detective; he called 911 but did not tell them their daughter had been shot. The couple only told the 911 operator that their daughter had breathing problems and a pacemaker as they tried to revive her.
Police aren't releasing the names of those involved, reportedly due to dad's previous undercover work.
You would think parents with their backgrounds would know full well about the consequences of shooting first and asking questions later.
