A Colorado man was taken into custody for allegedly fatally shooting his adult son after mistaking him for an intruder, according to authorities.
On Saturday around 10:15 p.m., Frank Leo Huner Jr. called authorities to say "he had just fatally shot what he believed to be an intruder breaking into his home" in Sedalia, Colorado, about 25 miles south of Denver, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Sunday.
"During the call, Frank Huner identified the intruder as his adult son," the sheriff’s office said.
