BLANCHARD, Okla. (AP) — Authorities don't plan to file charges against an Oklahoma woman who fatally shot a New Year's Eve intruder at her house while she had a 911 dispatcher on the phone, but the intruder's alleged accomplice has been charged in the death.
A 911 tape released to Oklahoma City media outlets Wednesday reveals that 18-year-old Sarah McKinley asked a Grady County dispatcher for permission to shoot the intruder. McKinley's 3-month-old son was with her when she shot Justin Shane Martin, 24, at her Blanchard mobile home.
"I've got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?" McKinley asked the dispatcher.

I know of several cases unfortunately where an intruder was shot and the home owner was not prosecuted. Where have you heard that people are arrested for defending their property?

I am aware of cases where the intruder that was injured sued the people that owned the home, however I only know of one instance where the intruder actually won the case, and that was because the circumstances for his presence in being in the home came into question as he had been there several times before.

This event only made it into the papers and media because there was some audio to go with it.
