BIXBY, Okla. — A man is hospitalized in critical condition after Tulsa police say he kicked in his ex-girlfriend's front door and was shot by a man inside the home.
The incident happened near South Lakewood Avenue and East 124th Terrace South in Bixby. Tulsa police confirmed the shooting stemmed from a domestic disturbance.
Investigators say earlier in the day, the man had stolen his ex-girlfriend's car following a breakup. He returned to her home around 3 a.m. and forced his way inside.
Tulsa Police Department Sergeant E. Michie said the woman had asked a friend to stay with her out of concern for her safety.
"Officers get here and we're told that the female's ex-boyfriend broke in. She had a friend staying with her for fear of retaliation, some ongoing drama, and he fired one shot, hit the intruder in the stomach one time," Michie said.
The ex-boyfriend was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The man who shot him was taken away by officers in handcuffs in the front seat of a TPD vehicle.
