BLANCHARD, Okla. — Authorities don’t plan to file charges against a woman who shot and killed a New Year’s Eve intruder at her house.
A 911 tape released to Oklahoma City media outlets Wed nesday reveals that the recently widowed 18-year-old mother asked a Grady County dispatcher for permission to shoot the intruder.
The 911 dispatcher told Sarah McKinley, “I can’t tell you that you can do that, but you have to do what you have to do to protect your baby.”
McKinley’s 3-month-old son was with her when she shot Justin Shane Martin, 24. Oklahoma law allows the use of deadly force against intruders.
Martin’s alleged accomplice has been charged with first-degree murder.
