Father shoots son dead after mistaking him for intruder

A father shot his son dead after mistaking him for an intruder inside his home.

Huner, 59, reportedly told the dispatcher his son had been shot about six times.
Investigators said the person who was shot was later pronounced dead.
The Douglas County Coroner's Office is yet to formally identify the body.

Police were called to Frank Leo Huner Jr’s home in Douglas County, Colorado, on Saturday night after he called 911 to say he’d shot a person.
But he realised moments later the man he’d shot was his adult son.
"RP [Reporting party] is saying he shot someone who came into his house. Now [he’s] saying it’s his son, and he's dead," the dispatcher said during the call, according to broadcaster WTOL.

The man was later arrested and charged with second-degree murder, but officials with the sheriff’s office say that could change as they continue to investigate
