TULSA, Okla. — Police are investigating a home invasion that turned deadly Friday morning.
Officers said around 4 a.m., they received a call about a person trying to break into a home near Admiral and Yale.
Investigators learned the suspect broke in through an empty window with a gun out and demanded items from the resident.
Officers said the resident told the intruder he didn't have anything of value. TPD says the intruder then went to the resident's mother, who opened a safe for the suspect. The suspect stole the contents of the safe, a cell phone and keys to their car. The suspect then fled and the residents called 911, according to police.
While the resident was on the phone with dispatch, the suspect came back to the home, where he allegedly kicked in the front door and was met by the homeowner's son, who was armed with a shotgun.
This is when officers say the resident shot the suspect. The suspect ran to the street before collapsing. He was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after.
Officers found a black pellet pistol on the suspect that looked like a real gun.
TPD said the residents of the home are fully cooperating with the homicide division as the investigation continues.
