A shocking accident in an upscale Washington DC suburb.
A 16 year old boy snuck out of his home to party with friends.
Later, after drinking alcohol, he tried to sneak back into his house but mistakenly entered another home.
Police said the home owner mistook the boy for an intruder, and shot him dead.
The boy's mother says she did not blame the neighbour.
Friends said the boy was well liked and a great student.
