MUSKOGEE — A Muskogee man who shot and killed a man during an alleged home robbery Saturday night told police he acted in self-defense.

About 9:45 p.m., Muskogee police responded to a call of burglary with shots fired at the 100 block of Geneva Street. Kyle Flood, 30, told police his neighbor Dana Lewis, 46, knocked on his door and told Flood three men were burglarizing her home. She told Flood she escaped the home and needed help, police said.

Flood told police he went inside his home and retrieved a semi-automatic pistol and stepped back outside, where he saw the three men outside Lewis’ home. Flood told the men to leave. When the three men instead approached Flood, he told police he cocked his firearm and again told them to leave.

Flood told police one of the men came toward him in an aggressive manner, and because he feared for his safety, Flood fired one shot at the man’s chest.
