Young man shoots intruder who turns out to be his father
Permalink  
 

An 18-year-old St. Petersburg, Florida man woke up to someone calling his name for help, grabbed his rifle, and came out of his bedroom to find a masked man in full tactical gear and a mask pointing a handgun at his mother. 

Without hesitating, Malachi Heilser shot and killed that man, who moments earlier had smashed a window from outside the home Heisler lives in with his mother, teen sister and his mother's boyfriend, according to The Tampa Tribune. 

The man Heisler killed – although he said he didn't know it when he shot – was his own father, John Heisler.

Malachi, who hid his face with a bandanna as he spoke to reporters, said he thinks he prevented more people from being hurt that night. His father was arrested earlier in the year for being a felon in possession of a firearm, and Malachi said his mom had a restraining order against him.

John Heisler was reportedly wearing all-black fatigues, a ski mask and thigh holsters when he forced his way into the home. 

"I had a feeling that something like this would happen but I didn’t know when,” he told News Channel 8. "“He wasn’t a good dad, no (expletive) father of the year awards."

I don't see what difference the fact that it was his father makes. He was an intruder that broke in, was threatening his mother with a gun, plus, she had a restraining order against him. They don't give those out for nothing.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.

 No.  I think it could be more traumatic for the son, though.  The intruder deserved to be shot.

He was protecting his mother. He doesn't sound surprised that the intruder was his bio father.

Another good example of why ordinary citizens should have guns.

Yes, Ed, I agree.

Sad for the son. And I agree that this could be very traumatic for the son.

Some friends of mine divorced, with two little children. Wife remarried a jerk who controlled her and the kids, and convinced wife to put the boy in a facility for the insane for several years when he was a teen. When he got out, he was worse off, and was addicted to drugs. He broke into his real father's home in the middle of the night, tried to kill his father. His father, a sheriff, killed his son in self-defense. He never got over it, and years later, committed suicide.

Some kids just don't stand a chance in life because of the craziness of their parents.
