ABC News
A 16-year-old-girl is dead after her father allegedly shot her in their home when he mistook her as an intruder, according to reports.
A teen girl was allegedly killed by her father early Wednesday morning in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity, according to reports.
Investigators are looking into the death of Janae Hairston, 16, of Columbus, Ohio, who was shot in the garage of her house. In a 911 call, Hairston's mother said the girl's father opened fire, because he thought she was an intruder, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
ABC affiliate WSYX reported that police documents said Hairston's father thought she was someone breaking into the house.
The father can be heard in the call asking what his daughter was doing and then he and her mother are heard begging for her to wake up, the Dispatch reported.
