[QUOTE="Fatboy Joe, post: 1578894, member: 13212"] Tulsa man shoots intruder breaking into his home By NICOLE MARSHALL World Staff Writer Published: 7/22/2011 2:25 AM Last Modified: 7/22/2011 8:04 AM Antonio Tyes heard the sound of glass breaking in his daughter's bedroom Thursday as he talked on the telephone to a relative who had just lost her son to violence. Tyes grabbed his gun and went to investigate. Seeing an intruder crawling through the window, he fired several shots, striking the intruder in the arm, authorities said. "When I saw him, he was halfway in. He had something in his hand," Tyes said. "I thought it was a gun, so I fired at him, striking him." The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office was summoned to Tyes' home in the 200 block of West 61st Street North about 11:40 a.m., Sgt. Shannon Clark said. The shooting victim - a teenager - and two other teenagers who had been waiting outside the window had run from the scene. Deputies tracked a blood trail leading from the home and captured three teenagers around the block, authorities said. Tyes was interviewed by deputies, and his report was documented. Under Oklahoma's Make My Day Law, Clark said, "it appears he thought he faced harm or serious danger, and they were invading his dwelling, and he had a right to protect himself, ... which he did." The reports will be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office, which will make a final determination as to whether the shooting was justified. The teenager who was shot was treated and then taken to the Juvenile Bureau Detention Center. The other two youths, ages 16 and 17, were arrested on first-degree burglary complaints. It wasn't the first time Tyes' home had been broken into. Luckily, his young daughter was not home and in the bedroom at the time, he said. Tyes said he was startled to see someone crawling through his window despite the burglar bars that were intended to keep intruders out. "They cut through the bars," he said. "It was the second time my house has been broken into, and they came in the same way." During the last burglary, the intruder stole things such as jewelry, electronics and power tools. When Tyes bought the house, it already had burglar bars. But after two break-ins, they don't make him feel protected anymore, he said. "Not when they cut them off twice, they don't."
