PONCA CITY, OK-- A man shoots an intruder who broke into his Ponca City home, the entire confrontation was recorded on a 911 call.

"You better get these *expletive* here or they will die," the man told 911 dispatchers at the beginning of the call.

The 911 call lasted about five minutes. The caller stayed on the line with dispatchers as he waited for officers to arrive:

Caller: "They're beating on my front door right now."
Dispatcher: "Okay, we've got them on the way"

As the caller waited for police, the intruder managed to break into the home. Several gunshots can be heard during their confrontation.

"I just put three rounds in his *expletive,*" said the caller to dispatchers.

Ponca City Police say the shooting happened at about 4:30 AM on the 1300-block of North Pine Street. Enos Rhodd lives across the street from the home where the shooting happened, he heard the first two gunshots before police arrived.

"They sounded like firecrackers in the distance," said Rhodd.

Rhodd says he believes his neighbor was justified in firing at the intruder.

"I think you have the right to defend yourself," he said.

Carla Carney, who also lives nearby disagrees, she says three gunshots is too much.

"You should protect your house, but if he was shot once, why continue to keep shooting?" said Carney.

Other neighbors, like Brenton Carney believe with the police station nearby, officers should have arrived sooner.

"Maybe they could have caught him outside," he said.

Ponca City Police say the intruder was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance, then airlifted to another hospital in Tulsa. No word on his condition. The intruder's name is not being released.

The case is under investigation. Ponca City Police say once they complete the investigation the case will be turned over to the DA.

But it's not why people need assault rifles. An assault rifle round could've gone through that *expletive* and into the house across the street.

Also, no word in the article whether the intruder was armed. Could have been a case of him having the wrong address. Three shots to the chest and now the *expletive* cannot give his side of the story.

Ponca City Police Deputy Chief Dwaine Vincent said today the department is not prepared to release the name of the intruder who was shot Thursday morning in the 1300 block of North Pine Street.

“To the best of our knowledge, the intruder and the residents did not know each other,” Vincent said.

“There is no indication that this was anything other than a homeowner who was in fear for his life and his family.”

According to an unnamed official familiar with the investigation, the intruder suffered .22-caliber gunshot wounds to the face, through the arm into the chest, and into the side of his back.

Just what is the difference between an assault rifle and a regular rifle?

Here is a story update from The Ponca City News:



If an armed intruder invades your home in the middle of the night, then you may not have time to ask questions. You may have only seconds to defend yourself.

To defend my home, I would rather have an "assault weapon" than a 22 rifle. Can you believe changing just the stock alone on a 22 rifle makes it an "assault weapon". Ha!

if it doesn't go through a deer at 20 feet, why would it go through a person?

i take it you never fired a 45? it can go through an engine block, and it's a pistol...

Um, no, this is why people need force fields.

I agree, I have one on order.

The Police already has some; made of Kevlar.

Really? Kevlar? Is that going to stop bombs from popping a person's head off?

This isn't a ho ho ha ha type of issue. People are finding holes in their bodies made by bullets, which came from firearms, which are extentions of their hands, which are attached to their arms, and ultimately attached to their no-brain craniums.
