From www.tulsaworld.com ~ A Turley homeowner shot and killed an intruder Thursday night when the man threatened him with a sword, sheriff's officials said.
The homeowner and his wife arrived at their house in the 6000 block of North Owasso Avenue about 10 p.m. to find the back door ajar and a window open, Tulsa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Shannon Clark said.
As the homeowner, who had a concealed weapons permit, searched the house, the intruder confronted him with the sword. The homeowner then shot the man three times in the torso, Clark said.
Investigators found that the intruder was also carrying a .38-caliber pistol, the homeowner's 9 mm pistol, a knife and a stun gun. His name was not immediately available.
Authorities interviewed the residents and no arrests were made, Clark said. The case will be sent to the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office for further review.
