Incredible tragedy in Columbus, the capital of Ohio.
This too, like so many in the United States, comes from the ease of being able to dispose and use weapons.
A man shot and killed his 16-year-old daughter in the house mistaking her for a thief.
In the middle of the night the alarm system went off in the house, the man took the weapon he had in the house and opened fire on what he thought was an intruder but instead it was the girl.
The call to the emergency number was immediate, the rush to the hospital was useless, where the girl was immediately declared dead. Dramatic recordings of the recorded call to 911: first the father is heard asking the injured daughter what she was doing and why she had set off the alarm, then both parents begging the girl to stay awake.
An investigation has been opened on the episode, but at the moment no crime has been charged.
