He thought it was an intruder, but it was his own daughter.

After his home alarm sounded, Loudoun County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Easton McDonald thought someone was breaking into his home when he saw a dark figure moving toward him. He fired his own gun only to discover the person was his own 16-year-old daughter, according to the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office.
The teen, a student at Millbrook High School, apparently sneaked out of the house and was returning home early Tuesday morning, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Donnie Lang told The Washington Post.
In his rush to get his daughter to the hospital, McDonald crashed his car, authorities say. She is at Winchester Medical Center and is currently listed in stable condition from a gunshot wound to the torso area.

Whose daughter did he intend to shoot?

And when she gets out of the hospital, she’ll be grounded for sneaking out.

Only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad daughter without……oh hell, nevermind. Thank god she didn’t die.

Don’t people even bother to ask who it is before they shoot these days?

Can’t drive in an emergency and shoots first before seeing what he is shooting at. Sounds about right for a law enforcement officer. Why is this guy even on the force. Is the city prepared for a budget busting law suit when he get back to his job?
