An OK homeowner did everything he could to get police to his home before an intruder forced his way in.

The homeowner told the 911 operator that police needed to arrive or he was going to have defend himself.

While waiting on police, the homeowner was forced to shoot the suspect, who forced his way through the front door.

The homeowner shot the suspect three times.

The suspect was taken to an area hospital and is unknown condition.

“You should protect your house, but if he was shot once, why continue to keep shooting?” said Carla Carney, a neighbor.

Maybe Carney doesn’t understand how quickly these incidents happen and that three shots can be fired in just over a second.
