Woman fatally shoots ex-boyfriend in Speedway

A woman shot and killed her ex-boyfriend when he kicked down her door early this morning at an apartment complex in Speedway, police said.

Speedway Police Department Lt. Trent Theobald said the woman called 911 after 4 a.m. Wednesday morning to report the shooting.

The woman reported she shot the man after a confrontation at the apartment in the 5800 block of West 25th Street, police said.

Theobald said two young children were in the apartment at the time. The women's two daughters were asleep during the shooting, and unharmed, he said.

Officers have been called to the apartment for domestic issues in the past, Theobald said.

Police have not yet released the names of the woman or the man shot, as officers are still trying to notify family members.
