BARTLESVILLE HOME INTRUDER SHOT AND KILLED<\/a><\/p>\n

Some neighbors in Bartlesville say they were shocked to hear about a shooting that happened too close to them.<\/p>\n

Bartlesville Police say a woman shot and killed a man who broke into her apartment.<\/p>\n

Police say the man was 23 years old and that the woman told police she didn\u2019t know him.<\/p>\n

Neighbors say the thing that surprised them the most is they didn’t expect something like this to happen in broad daylight when families are getting ready for work and kids ready for school.<\/p>\n

Bartlesville Police say a woman called 911 this morning and said someone was breaking into her apartment, then said she’d shot the intruder.<\/p>\n

Laci Robertson lives nearby and was getting her kids ready for school.\u00a0She says one of her kids had walked by just before the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that happening just right here, you never know when a stray bullet or something could go on,” said Robertson. “You know there\u2019s things that happen, but you just don\u2019t really think it\u2019s going to happen so close to home.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says it\u2019s scary to think about this kind of crime happening at such a busy time of day.\u00a0\u201cBecause I think, what if in that moment, I\u2019m getting my child out the door for school and somebody just comes right through,” said Robertson. “And in that moment, what do I do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartlesville Police say the law gives people the right to use deadly force to protect themselves inside their homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very unfortunate, and we\u2019re glad no one else was hurt in the process,” said Captain\u00a0Daniel Elkins\u00a0with Bartlesville Police. “The homeowner felt like they had to do what was necessary, and that\u2019s ultimately their choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robertson says she\u2019s glad the homeowner was able to defend herself, and she hopes that other burglars will think twice about what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou live in a place, and you think \u2018oh, we\u2019re safe here,”‘ said Robertson. “‘It\u2019s fine.\u2019 But the world is just getting more and more crazy every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartlesville Police say they interviewed the woman and then released her.<\/p>\n

It will be up to the District Attorney to decide whether charges will be filed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
