An Akron father can be grateful his fear at one o'clock in the morning didn't deprive him of his daughter.

Akron police say the man heard a noise before 1:00 in the morning at his home in on Onadago Avenue, and suspected it was an intruder. The man called out but got no response; when he saw a "shadowy figure" in the kitchen, he fired.

It turned out to be his 22-year old daughter who was supposed to be house-sitting somewhere else.

Police say she was transported to Summa's Akron City with non-life threatening injuries. At this point, no charges have been filed.
