Jeffrey Giuliano's sister, who was alone in the home, believed someone was breaking in and called Giuliano, who lives next door, state police said. Giuliano grabbed a gun and went outside to investigate, troopers said.

He confronted someone wearing a black ski mask and black clothing and then fired his gun when the person went at him with a shiny weapon in his hand, police said. They would not provide details about what kind of weapon it was.

When police officers arrived almost immediately after they were called, the teen was lying in the driveway of his aunt's home with gunshot wounds and the father was sitting on the grass. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

A state trooper pulled back the ski mask to reveal that the victim was Tyler Giuliano, though it was unclear if Jeffrey Giuliano already knew that. It was also unclear if he was actually trying to burglarize the house or if it was some type of prank gone wrong.

"In the first place, the prosecutor would have to ask whether or not an ordinary person in that position would believe that their life was in danger," said William Dunlap, who teaches criminal law at Quinnipiac University School of Law.
If, however, investigators determine the father of five "did not warn the `intruder' that he would be shot if he did not desist, or that he was negligent in not recognizing that the apparent intruder was a jokester" he potentially could be charged with negligent homicide, Steven Duke, a professor of law at Yale University said in an email.
