Teacher shoots own son dead, thinking he was a burglar

A small Connecticut town was left reeling in grief and confusion after a popular teacher shot dead a masked knife-wielding prowler – only to discover it was his 15-year-old son.

No immediate charges were brought against Jeffrey Giuliano for the killing of his son Tyler, who was gunned down in his aunt’s driveway next door to his own home at around 1am on Thursday.
