i bet ya a flash light on his weapon would have prevented it
I bet if this happened to a civilian in Massachusetts, you would be charged, and all licenses revoked... for the sake of the children, of course!
I bet she won't sneak out again.
Boyfriend: Aww com'on honey..just for a quicky..
Girl: Are you nuts? The last time we got busy, my dad shot me.

How would that situation compare here....lets say the girl was hiding in a dark corner of the basement, trying to sneak in after an unapproved night of drinking. In her stupidity, she tries to dash by her dad when he isnt looking. To him, he sees a person in the dark coming at him, and shoots....just a bad situation? Both at fault? or ultimately, is it on his shoulders to KNOW he is in danger before firing?
Surely there are situations where you are justified in being "in fear for your life" when in reality your life is not in danger, but theres no way to know until the event is over.
I feel bad for both of them. The cop's job/life are probably going to be a serious mess for a long time and the daughter is now messed up physically. Who knows whatthe real situation was when the shot was fired. The girl could have been climbing through a window in the dark, quickly startled the father as he came around the corner looking for an intruder, anything...not saying shooting without knowing the target is a good thing...just saying that obviously no one would shoot their kid on purpose, so it may have just been a combination of 10 things that told the father "this is someone trying to do my family harm" based on the situation.
What if you heard noises in the basement, saw a security light had been flagged, went down into the basement and came face to face with an unknown person in the dark coming at you? The daughter had no reason to know she was about to be shot, so could have been acting in any number of ways while trying to not get caught by her dad...hiding quietly in a dark corner...trying to slip by him as he walked to the door....etc..
This guy is negligent in a big way.
I think most of the opinions being expressed are a byproduct of the fact that we all expect to be lynched in this state should the need to defend ourselves or our families arise. Most of us are conditioned by the political climate in this state to make sure your 100% right before even thinking of acting. Actions taken in ones defense that would not earn you a second look from law enforcement in some free states will land you locked up pending trial here in liberal land. I personally hope he gets cleared because I'm guessing the last thing his family needs right now is more stress from this incident.To hell with the trial, the NES jury of fears has already convicted him!
