Oklahoma Self-Defense: Tulsa Homeowner Shoots Man In Possible Break-In :: 12/08/2016
TULSA, Oklahoma - Police are still investigating after a homeowner shot a man trying to break into his house early Wednesday near 91st and Memorial.
Officers say at about 1:15 a.m., man jumped over the homeowner's fence and tried to break into a bedroom door, which led to the home's backyard.
Police say the homeowner grabbed his girlfriend's pistol and started shooting at the intruder through the door.
They said 32-year-old Perry Wallace was hit several times. EMSA took him to the hospital with what police said were non-life threatening injuries.
The homeowner's four children, ages four through 12 and his girlfriend were in the home at the time.
Police say they believe it was a matter of self-defense and that Wallace made a bad decision.
"If you're going to try to get into someone's house that's not your own, you're rolling the dice, especially here in Oklahoma. A lot of people exercise their Second Amendment, which is fantastic," said Sgt. Shane Tuell.
