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.

State police have said he 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 to his. 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.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police have arrested a 20-year-old Los Angeles man who allegedly threatened to shoot a random pedestrian if his Twitter post was retweeted a hundred times. The Los Angeles Times reports Dakkari McAnuff was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats.

Police later determined the weapon was an air rifle, which was recovered from the home.
