Tulsa police are investigating after a man shot his daughter’s former boyfriend during an alleged home invasion at a midtown residence Wednesday, police said.

Tulsa Police Sgt. Kurt Dodd said the father opened fire after the ex-boyfriend forced his way into the family’s home at about 4:35 p.m. in the 2300 block of South College Avenue. The man, whose named wasn’t released but is believed to be in his 20s, was struck twice in the chest.

The shooting victim was taken to a hospital in emergent condition, meaning serious or critical, according to an EMSA spokesman.

Dodd said the victim appeared to have been previously in a relationship with the shooter’s daughter, who did not live at the home but was there during the incident. Her father and mother, who live at the house, were hosting friends from the East Coast who were in town to avoid Hurricane Florence.

According to police, the ex-boyfriend was told not to come back to the house but returned Wednesday afternoon and began beating on the front door. He then reportedly moved to the other side of the house and started beating on the back door before apparently breaking the latch to the garage and forcing his way inside the residence.
