    Teen Mom Calls 9-1-1 for Permission to Shoot Intruders Before Killing One Using 12-Gauge Shotgun

    Teen Mom Shoots Intruder (ABC video)

    Eighteen-year-old Sarah McKinley and her 3-month-old son were unharmed when two intruders tried to break into their home outside of Oklahoma City on New Year’s Eve. Her husband had died from lung cancer on Christmas Day, and when she realized intruders were attempting to break into her home she had nothing to do but grab her 12-gauge shotgun and pistol, and call 911.

    She spoke with the operator for 21 minutes, making sure she had the right to shoot if the men forced their way in.

    “I can’t tell you that you can do that, but you do what you have to do to protect your baby,” the dispatcher told her as she held the infant with a bottle, according to KOCO.

    She ultimately pulled the trigger.

    One of the men, 24-year-old Justin Martin, McKinley is believed to have been stalking her since her husband’s death. ABC news reports that McKinley barricaded herself in her bedroom with the baby and guns. When Martin kicked down the bedroom door, McKinley’s maternal instincts kicked in:

    “When Martin kicked in the door and came after her with the knife, the teen mom shot and killed the 24-year-old. Police are calling the shooting justified.

    ‘You’re allowed to shoot an unauthorized person that is in your home. The law provides you the remedy, and sanctions the use of deadly force; Det. Dan Huff of the Blanchard police said.”

    Martin died and the second suspect, Dustin Stewart, currently sits in jail. Investigators are searching Martin’s car for evidence that the home invasion was premeditated, KFOR-TV reported.

    “I wouldn’t have done it, but it was my son,” McKinley told KOCO. “It’s not an easy decision to make, but it was either going to be him or my son. And it wasn’t going to be my son. There’s nothing more dangerous than a woman with a child.”

    Amen.

        It was New Year's Eve one of the busiest nights of the year for law enforcement. Not that they should not have been there in 20 minutes but I listened to a scanner on NYE and they had their hands full where I was at. Many accidents that required them to remain on there.

        Which is conclusive proof that cops CANT be everywhere at once. They are only human beings, contrary to anti gun nuts theories that cops are omniscient and omnipotent and can instantaneously appear on command when we're in danger like some Marvel comics hero.

        Anti gun nuts are so deluded its astounding. They really think the cops get there in time. Even the cops will tell you they dont. They get there to outline the body in chalk. Little more can be expected of them in the time it takes for a nut to kick in a door and stab some poor woman to death.

      The 24 year old puke thought as a widow she'd be an easy victim. He was wrong on both points. She did exactly what she had to do to protect herself and her child. That she ridded the community of a violent predator is an added bonus.

      She gave them plenty of opportunity to walk away.

        Why people are upset that she shot the guy confuses me. You are so right. They chose to break in, knowing that it was socially, morally, and legally wrong. Even when the guy saw a shotgun pointing at him he assumed that she would be too scared to pull the trigger and that he was justifyed in doing whatever he wanted to her and her baby. He chose not to stop and back off. He came at her with a knife. She and her child were in mortal danger. She shot him. I really don't see that she had any other choice.

      Right on, young lady! She did the right thing.

      And please note, everyone who thinks that only "right wing gun nuts" support this - I'm a socialist, a member of the Peace and Freedom Party. From our platform:

      "We call for the defense and extension of the liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, including freedom of speech, press, assembly and association, and the right to keep and bear arms for individual and collective defense. The ultimate guarantee of those rights is the organized strength of the working class."

      Look at the time line in this story.
      The woman calls 911 while these maggots are trying to break in.
      In the 21 minutes it took for help to arrive the man BROKE IN on her and she shot him.
      He DID GET IN BEFORE THE COPS ARRIVED.
      Had she been without a gun its VERY likely she'd have been stabbed to death since its pretty clear she wasnt going to just let them do whatever they wanted.

      Boy stalks girl that owns guns, boy brings knife to gunfight, the gene pool is cleansed, Darwin is proven right yet again and justice is done. What’s not to like about a story with a happy ending.

      WHAT IS A WOMAN?
      I hope this small boy when big will learn to appreciate his mother.
      Your mother is your second God.
      All mothers are protective and i wish the world would understand mothers, and a child does not sease to be a child no matter the age.
      Women go through it all for the sake of their children.
      Some children when big threaten to pay their mothers, all the milk they have suckled from the mothers brest.
      Others want to pay for their parents for damanges and the up keep since they were born.
      Others find their mothers too agry to be seen with.
      Others do not visit their mothers becouse she is dirty.
      Others would pestcide their mother before she can get into their house.
      Others would send their mothers into homes.
      There are cases when women walk into burning fire to save their child.
      There are also abusive mothers.
      In many cases women would lower themselfs to a point of selling their bodies to men for money,so as to meet the needs of her children, when nothing else works. some mothers get AIDS in the proccess plus others.
      After the child has done well in life, would refer to the mother as a prostitute.
      NOTE there has to be a man for this woman to have a child.
      A woman does not give up, as far as her children goes.
      A woman is always a second class in all areas of life, she is refered to as weaker sex.
      I asure you there is no man who can supperseed a woman becouse he can not be a woman.
      There is no one without a mother. all have one mother .
      You will never know what your mother is untill she is gone.
      MY MOTHER IS THE ONLY FRIEND I EVER HAND, BUT NOW SHE IS GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD
      ,I MISS HER VERY MUCH.
      i know this note will ignite

      Even the youngest, mildest, most peaceable mother will become the tigress, the lioness, the ultimate MAMA BEAR when her child is threatened. Don't carry any guilt over shooting this vermin. Just throw him on the swill pile.

      pretty bad for criminals when they are so pathetic that a mother can feed her kid and take their sorry arse out at the same time....and all while making a PHONE call :-D
      • Mo 4 mths ago
        Well spoken. Most criminals are criminals because they are lazy. They are always looking for weakness, and most of them consider a lone woman an easy victim. TV bad guy heros have made being dangerous kind of romantic. The truth is that bad guys are BAD, no heart of gold, only the feeling that whatever they want is theirs for the taking. Having an 18 year old widowed mom take one of them out, as you said, while taking care of her baby and talking on the phone really does emphasize the lack of character most criminals have.

      Listen, If she hadnt had a gun..OH my God, she would be dead..They didnt kick in her bedroom door to say Hi. Im with CK3, great advice. Someone raised this girl right, someone loved her so much they showed her how to stay calm while useing a gun. She did everything right.

      Praiseworthy! It was literally a mother's instinct. She has done exactly what should have been done. The society should support her emotionally. Dr. Vijaliwala, India

      Your story made me teary... for being strong, especially in the moment of danger. I hope you stay stronger because it sounds like you're in a very hard situation before this. Bless you and your son.

      If a bank in her town will set up an account, I will be the first person to deposit money, she is the salt of the earth, more women need to be like her. She is what America should stand for, married, caring for a child, widowed at 18, and protecting her child, Hooray for her.
