An 18-year-old St. Petersburg, Florida man woke up to someone calling his name for help, grabbed his rifle, and came out of his bedroom to find a masked man in full tactical gear and a mask pointing a handgun at his mother.

Without hesitating, Malachi Heilser shot and killed that man, who moments earlier had smashed a window from outside the home Heisler lives in with his mother, teen sister and his mother's boyfriend, according to The Tampa Tribune.

The man Heisler killed ? although he said he didn't know it when he shot ? was his own father, John Heisler.

Malachi, who hid his face with a bandanna as he spoke to reporters, said he thinks he prevented more people from being hurt that night. His father was arrested earlier in the year for being a felon in possession of a firearm, and Malachi said his mom had a restraining order against him.

John Heisler was reportedly wearing all-black fatigues, a ski mask and thigh holsters when he forced his way into the home.

"I had a feeling that something like this would happen but I didn?t know when,? he told News Channel 8. "?He wasn?t a good dad, no (expletive) father of the year awards."

Sounds like he may have prevented something more serious from happening.

Sucks he shot his own father though.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh gee really I thought all fathers of the year material pointed guns at their wives or ex wives?

Here is your sign! :thumbsup

This thing is dripping with irony. Every picture of the kid has him wearing a bandanna over his face -- a mask. I'm so ashamed of my part of the world. It seems like every time something really fucked up happens it's from around these parts.

shiiiitttttttttttt

so much about tactical gear
