NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — A popular fifth-grade teacher fatally shot a masked teenager in self-defense outside his neighbor's house during what appeared to be an attempted late-night burglary, then discovered the teen was his son, state police said.
Spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said Friday that police are trying to determine if the gun used by Jeffrey Giuliano, the father, was registered. It will be at least a week before the probe is done.
Tyler Giuliano, described as an easygoing 15-year-old who enjoyed flying small planes, was shot at about 1 a.m. Thursday in New Fairfield, a lake community of about 14,000 along the New York line just north of Danbury.
"It's something out of a Hollywood script," said First Selectman John Hodge, who doesn't recall another killing in his eight years on the job. "You certainly don't expect it to happen in your own small hometown where there's very little crime."
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.
"All in all it's a tragedy," Vance said.
Jeffrey Giuliano hasn't returned a message seeking comment on what happened. Alicia Roy, superintendent of schools in New Fairfield, said Giuliano is a native of the town who offers summer music and zoology camps for his students and plays in a band that raises a lot of money for charity.
"''He wanted to teach in the community he grew up," she said. "He connects with the students. He's a caring person. Very interactive class."
Tyler Giuliano was a student at New Fairfield High School, a short walk from the neighborhood where he was killed. Roy said he was a member of the Civil Air Patrol and was described as an easy-going young man who enjoyed spending time with his family. During a storm last year, he volunteered at a shelter set up the local high school, helping to serve meals and set up cots.
Roy said Tyler especially enjoyed flying gliders and single-engine planes out of Danbury airport.
"He would fly as many hours as possible," she said.
No charges have been filed. An autopsy is planned.

Epic fail.

Better than ghettogagging a ? then finding out afterwards, that it's ur daughter
-
Dumb kid tbh.
-
Havin kids can lead to all kinda crazy twists.
-
where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton now?
-
know he didnt see that coming
-
This story doesn't add up
-
I bet he was a really strict father.
-
and even if the father didn't know the guy he thought was black was his son...the son still knew that the guy with the gun was his dad. so why would he go at him with a shiny weapon?
why wouldn't he just yell out "No dad" or "dad" or something like that. and why would he be breaking into his aunts house knowing his dad is next door. something isn't right -
lol the dad probably thought it was one of them dumb ? from western conn state and said ? it, but why wouldnt the son say dad its me

I'm thinking he shot first and asked questions later, and the teen really didn't run at him with a shiny object. -
LOL this lil ? died because he was tryin to peep show his aunt.
How much you wanna bet that shiny object was his camera phone? -
He walked outside and shot his son.
It's.been said already but you see.your dad with a gun pointed at you, I know for a fact you wouldn't attack, you would say its me dad.
Lock his ass up. -
? AINT ADDING UP... -
-
The father is an upstanding citizen who took some criminal ? off of the street.
Kid got what he deserved. -

Kids rob family members everyday. EVERY ? DAY
Kids also get caught and try their best to get out of the situation without getting into trouble(not saying anything when a pistal is pointed at you).
He might have thought his dad wouldn't shoot him or the "shiny weapon" would scare the father away
While the dad saw armed criminal ? . -

FOH
you wouldn't at least say stop or i'll shoot first? you'd just start shooting without saying a word
It was time-time for some, time for some action:

Kid was apart of this new generation of bad ass unpredictable teens. If its true that he did come at his pops with a shiny object then whos to say he wont gonna try to take him out first? I bet the autopsy will reveal all kinds of ? drugs and ? in this "innocent teens" body. Another scenario is he probably was trying to sneak a peek at his aunt, lil ? might of even been tryin to get him a piece. In a world where ? ? their own grandmas I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

Giuliano..... Italian. another dead ? . I see nothing wrong here

Kai your ruthless child soldier days are starting to look suspect. -
they wish he shot a ? !
-
something sounds fishy, mask or not, you don't know what your 15 yr old looks like. then when the kids sees his dad with a gun, he doesn't say "dad it's me." and the guy just goes out and starts shooting, without asking who it is or to put his hands up or anything
and why was the kid sneaking in to his aunt's house at 1:00 am?
In the prolific words of the great Christopher Wallace....."squeeze 1st, ask questions last". -
Lol, just imagine the ? talking this cracka did before he lifted the mask.
-
Oh well.
