An apparent dispute involving a woman seeking money from a homeowner led to the homeowner shooting a man trying to enter his home Sunday morning, police said.

Police at 12:42 a.m. were called to a report of a shooting in the 1500 block of North Cheyenne Avenue.

“The homeowner had called in stating that a man had tried to enter his home and demanded cash,” Tulsa police Sgt. Dave Walker said in a news release.

The homeowner, 47, warned the man to go away, and when the man opened the screen door and entered the screened in porch area the homeowner shot him, Walker said. The man who was shot fled to a waiting car occupied by a woman, 27, and drove off.

The wounded man, 31, collapsed at 1400 N. Denver Avenue, where first responders transported him to St. John Medical Center in critical condition, Walker said.

The man underwent surgery and is expected to survive his wounds. The shot man has convictions for drugs and weapon offenses out of Tulsa County, Walker said.

Police received the call at 1400 N. Denver Avenue about the same time as the homeowner was calling in, Walker said.
