TURLEY - A homeowner shot and killed an intruder Thursday night when the man threatened him with a sword, sheriff's officials said.
A sword? I would have thought a pry bar more practical, but this is not an area in which I have any experience. | The homeowner and his wife arrived at their house in the 6000 block of North Owasso Avenue about 10 p.m. to find the back door ajar and a window open, Tulsa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Shannon Clark said.
As the homeowner, who had a concealed weapons permit, searched the house, the intruder, later identified as 19-year-old Billy Jean Tiffey III, confronted him with the sword. The homeowner then shot Tiffey three times in the torso, Clark said.
Ooh! Ooh! I seen dat movie!
Investigators found that Tiffey was also carrying a .38-caliber pistol, the homeowner's 9 mm pistol, a knife and a stun gun.
Ok, now it sounds like he was a tad over-provisioned for the excursion... and he's still missing the pry bar. | Authorities interviewed the residents and no arrests were made, Clark said. The case will be sent to the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office for further review. |
