A teacher attempting to assist his sister in their quiet Connecticut suburb when she believed she was being robbed shot a masked stranger during a late-night confrontation. But Jeffrey Giuliano, 44, didn't realize that he had gunned down and killed his teenage son until the boy was identified by authorities.
Police responding to a possible burglary attempt pulled up to a house in New Fairfield at 1 a.m. Thursday to find the local 5th grade teacher, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, sitting on the lawn outside his sister's home (the two lived next door). Dead in the driveway was his 15-year-old son, Tyler.
Lieutenant J. Paul Vance said that Tyler was found with obvious gunshot wounds and was holding a weapon.
"We received a call reporting possible burglary and shots fired," Vance told ABC News. "He was shot multiple times, but we still don't know the number of times or the location."
Emergency Medical Service responders said that Tyler, who the Fairfield News Times reported was Giuliano's adopted son, was dead when they arrived on the scene.
Jeffrey Giuliano armed himself with a handgun and headed next door when he received a call from his sister, Alexis Scocozza, who suspected her home was being broken into.
Once he left his house, Giuliano immediately saw a masked person dressed all in black clothing and wearing a ski-mask and holding a "shiny object," according to the police report.

I don't really understand why they pointed out the kid was adopted.

Perhaps because that would make the kid extra special?

What was the kid doing though? A prank? Really breaking in? People shouldn't be so trigger happy, why not aim for the legs? What kind of person really wants to kills someone? So many questions, ha.

You don't shoot to wound, you shoot to kill. It's never advised to "take out their legs."
First thing you learn at gun school: if you draw your pistol it'd better be to kill someone. Otherwise you shouldn't draw down on someone.
Also "wounding" someone who has a weapon is a good way to get yourself killed.

If that's your idea of a prank you deserve to die.

Most people who own firearms aren't marksmen or skilled professionals with the weapons they own.

if you cant hit a knuckle, wrist, or shoulder in a fight you probably should just stick to a baseball bat

Do you always aim for the wrist, knuckle, or shoulder?

Not a good idea. Take a conceal carry class and have a police officer explain why it's shoot to kill, or don't draw a gun.
Makes more sense when a cop explains how easy it is to die in a gun fight if you pussy around and fire "warning shots" or try to wound someone. If you're not willing to take a kill shot then you ought to stick with mace.
That's what they tell you.

Aim small miss small. But this wasn't a gunfight, there was only one gun involved.
