Neighbors said the home has been robbed in the past and, according to Newson6, police indicate there was “a similar shooting at the same location in October 2013.”
The news out of Tulsa comes just days after 74-year-old Leavenworth, Kansas, woman shot and killed a possible burglar at her home. The Associated Press reported that the 74-year-old shot the man then suffered a “medical event” and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment too.
