NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man who fatally shot a knife-wielding prowler in a ski mask and then learned it was his 15-year-old son will not face prosecution.
A person briefed on the decision told The Associated Press on Friday that prosecutors do not plan to file charges against Jeffrey Giuliano (joo-lee-AH'-no). The person spoke on condition of anonymity because investigators have not released their findings.
State police have said Giuliano went outside with a gun around 1 a.m. on Sept. 27, 2012, when his sister called to say someone was trying to break into her house next door in New Fairfield. Authorities say Giuliano saw a masked person holding a knife come toward him in a threatening manner and shot him.
He later was told the person was his son Tyler.
