Dont bring garden shears to a gun fight

Is this act of self defense clearly covered by Castle Doctrine? Homeowner told the intruder/trespasser/attacker to leave. Attacker wasn’t invited on to the property. No duty to retreat required of the property owner.

Absolutely covered if the law is followed. If some liberal county prosecutor decides to go against the law and follow their political beliefs, it can become expensive. Oklahoma Castle doctrine says they are protected in a good shoot against civil lawsuits, but defending one self in a state sponsored trial can deplete life savings.
That being said, the homeowner should be given a medal and front page in the news for taking that much abuse before following the law and defending himself.

There was another home invader shot on the 9th. in Tulsa...

The D.A. made a statement regarding it and other "break ins"...

"Someone who's coming and breaking into a home, ought to think twice about the potential consequences because you're not going to have to law on your side if someone has to use lethal force against you," Kunzweiler said. "If you happen to survive, you'll be in trouble for breaking into someone's home, and you might have a bullet in you for your troubles."

I am pretty sure Clint Smith covered this very thing

I’m just honestly amazed that it happened in the first place. How does someone get so mad at their neighbor doing yard work that they attack them repeatedly with garden shears?

I wonder what the back story is. I bet there is a long history between the two neighbors.
