18 year old Oklahoma Mom shoots home invader

[Worriedman]

Did a search, did not find this posted yet.

Husband died from cancer on Christmas Day. Two thugs try to break in New Year's Eve, she calls 911, at least 21 minutes listening to them go door to door trying to gain entry, holding her baby, and her shotgun.

Stalkers... get under my skin. Glad he got what was coming. Sad about her husband though.

So young to have already gone though so much.

Sick friggin' bastards! Good for her!

i know new years response times are slow and all, but 21 minutes of waiting why were the police not there yet.

[greenego]

She keep her cool and did the smart thing. Hope the one who lived goes away for a long time.

[Erik88]

wow, she has been through hell. I'm glad she had the means to protect herself.

[gnmwilliams]

So she wouldn't have shot if she was alone and didn't have her baby? I wonder if they quoted her right on that?

#1 You don't know when she called 911.

#2 Sounds like she did some barricading and obviously got out a shotgun killing some time.

#3 From the looks of it, Blanchard is a small friggin town. As-in a two or three policeman department MAX. When I was a police officer, my own beat was about the size of this entire town.

#4 It was New Years.

I know that during the holidays, domestics are greatly on the rise because everyone is at home. Add alcohol and holiday finances = family feuding. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that one sibling that comes home for Christmas or to that one family member with a little too much of that eggnog done right.

My point is, being a small department there is a great possibility that ALL two or three officers might have been responding to a call on the other side of town. Who even knows where this lady lives. Perhaps she even lives outside of Blanchard with Blanchard having the closest responding police department.

Didnt realise it was that small of a town, i guess in retrospect i coud have answered my own question using google. From the way the video makes it sound she waited 21 minutes after barricading herself and calling the police I still think 21 minutes is a bit on the long side for a home invasion in progress. Not trying to judge the police department im sure they got there as fast as they possibly could.

[peejman]

One less scumbag. Hopefully he didn't breed.

21 minutes does seem like a long time, but I'm quite sure that regardless of the size of the town, the cops have their hands full on NYE.

im just glad to hear that the BG got what was coming to him, instead of the young mother and her child getting murdered. its a damn good thing she had that shotgun. i wonder how the anti-gun idiots would defend their beliefs on something like this.

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

As a mother , I can understand why she did it.. I wouldn`t have hesitated one bit myself.. she protected her child.. end of story.,.

And losing your husband a few days before..what a rough deal.. I feel for her

Yes, Blanchard is very small and gets some support from Newcastle at times. My sister lives in Blanchard and my parents in New Castle. Typically very quite area. I'm sure my sis will let me in on any dirt there might be.

listening to the call, i was surprised as to how calm she sounded.

[BigK]

Did anyone else see that huge German Shepherd in the video?

They said the idiot that was shot had Oxy in his pocket and tested positive for drugs. I ask ya...how stoned would you have to be to try to break into a house with that big beast in there? Surely he barked, right?

[Patton]

In my early days as a cop I went to several home break ins were they either shot/hurt the dog or opened the door and lured them outside. Some arent that scared of dogs.

Good news, the accomplice has been charged with murder since the other guy was killed, bad news, the scum has been freed on bail.
