Teen Mom Calls 9-1-1 for Permission to Shoot Intruders Before Killing One Using 12-Gauge Shotgun

Eighteen-year-old Sarah McKinley and her 3-month-old son were unharmed when two intruders tried to break into their home outside of Oklahoma City on New Year’s Eve. Her husband had died from lung cancer on Christmas Day, and when she realized intruders were attempting to break into her home she had nothing to do but grab her 12-gauge shotgun and pistol, and call 911.
She spoke with the operator for 21 minutes, making sure she had the right to shoot if the men forced their way in.
“I can’t tell you that you can do that, but you do what you have to do to protect your baby,” the dispatcher told her as she held the infant with a bottle, according to KOCO.
She ultimately pulled the trigger.
One of the men, 24-year-old Justin Martin, McKinley is believed to have been stalking her since her husband’s death. ABC news reports that McKinley barricaded herself in her bedroom with the baby and guns. When Martin kicked down the bedroom door, McKinley’s maternal instincts kicked in:
“When Martin kicked in the door and came after her with the knife, the teen mom shot and killed the 24-year-old. Police are calling the shooting justified.
‘You’re allowed to shoot an unauthorized person that is in your home. The law provides you the remedy, and sanctions the use of deadly force; Det. Dan Huff of the Blanchard police said.”

Martin died and the second suspect, Dustin Stewart, currently sits in jail. Investigators are searching Martin’s car for evidence that the home invasion was premeditated, KFOR-TV reported.
“I wouldn’t have done it, but it was my son,” McKinley told KOCO. “It’s not an easy decision to make, but it was either going to be him or my son. And it wasn’t going to be my son. There’s nothing more dangerous than a woman with a child.”
Amen.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 4:35pm@moderationisbest, you say it is sad someone had to die. Which is the same thing you would say if that poor woman had been killed by an intruder and did not have the capability of defending herself. Or what if she had been raped? What would you say then? Sad would not bring her back from the dead or restore her sanity after being raped.
Seriously? When someone attacks another human being with a knife and the obvious intent to harm or kill you say you are sad that they are dead? I’m thankful that she was armed and capable of defending herself.
What saddens me is that our culture creates predators like the decedent and bleeding hearts that are sad when he is killed for attacking an innocent women in her own house. Would you prefer she tried to talk it over with the guy as he was coming at her with a knife? Wake-up man!

While all this was going on my wife would have either got my Winchester 30-30 or got her Taurus 4510 Judge loaded with .410 gauge shells.

If the criminals think that they would be shot and killed for B&E’s, chances are theyll reconsider committing the crime in the first place. “When seconds count, the Police are minutes away.”
A Sad loss for this deceased individuals family, but it was that persons decision to commit to a B&E.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 5:17pmAs an ex-911 calltaker/dispatcher in central Texas, I can tell you the calltaker/operator was correct.
Report Post »I once had an elderly woman who lived alone call, saying someone was trying to come in by breaking down the front door. She was also armed with a 12 gauge shot gun. She lived in the country, and was concerned that the officers might not get there before the assailant busted down the door. They didn’t. She yelled “I’m gonna shoot him!” and BAM.. she did. The officers from my understanding were impressed with her ability to handle a weapon when panicked as well as she did.

A twenty one minute response time is actually pretty typical. The guidlines that they work under say that only incidents with people actually dead or dying are emergency situations that require immediate response. Situations like this are categorized as non-emergency situations.
It‘s sad but it’s the result of the fact that the vast majority of calls to 911 are not emergencies, and they incorrectly work under that assumption.

The dead idiot made a poor decision that put two human beings (one fully defenseless, one not so much) in fear for their lives. Once this punk and his friend decided to invade another’s property, they (and others like them who intend to steal and do harm) have EXPRESSLY invited whatever response to stop the invasion the rightful landowner/target brings to bear. I’ve told my own children if they engage in such thievery, they deserve whatever bad thing comes their way. No sympathy here.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 6:46pmHave we all replaced our heart for this young mother with ego? Are all those here who cheer for the killing of a human sharing of the same action? And take joy in it?
This girl is 18 years old with a newborn baby and a recently deceased husband. That’s difficult enough (believe me I know) and now she has to live with the memory of taking a life to possibly save a life in a moment of sheer terror. She will relive that moment her whole life, you won’t. She will always wonder what if, you won’t? Stop cheerleading for death, its insulting. Satan has enough power already.
Have you considered at all the possibility that she was on the phone asking for permission because she knows its wrong to kill? Trying desperately not to bring further violence to the situation? What if the police did show up and she let her guard down and was taken captive? What then?
WE DON’T KNOW! So forgive me for saying the obvious: we don’t get to have a say in this. It is between her and God now. Same for the dead boy and the prisoner. They made choices and we don’t get to judge. My heart goes out to this girl, one so young should not have to know of such things.
What has happened has happened and couldn’t have happened any other way. The problem is us, passing judgement where we haven’t the right.
We are not wise enough to apply the correct justice in an eye for an eye. I believe that is why God sent His son. BTW, Jesus never killed anyone…

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:10pmShe did the right thing. See why we must be able to protect ourselves? She could have been killed or raped in the 21 minutes had she not had a gun. Shotguns are great protection. I would not need permission from anyone, however, I would call 911 and have them stay on the line if I heard anyone trying to break in my home. I can use a gun, and would not hesitate shooting anyone breaking into my home. The person might break in, but would have to be carried out. In classes they advise you to tell the people in a loud voice that you have a gun and will shoot and the rest is up to them.
For those who are afraid of guns, take classes and learn to be responsible. Just look at how many people kill others with their cars, but they aren’t afraid of the car, so no need to be afraid of a gun.

I am sure that someone in this peice of garbages family will want to sue her for worngful death or some other such crap, it has happened before. When someone is trying to break into your home 21 minutes can seem like a lifetime. I am not sure of just how big the town of Blanchard OK is, but honestly 21 minutes does seem to me to be just to long of a time frame. When seconds count the police are minutes away.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 5:37pmJustAngry, our 5 year old has had a single shot .22 Cricket rifle since she was 3 years old. My husband & I shoot together frequently, & she shoots with us. She also attends many 3-gun shooting competitions with her daddy, & is not squeamish about hunting or shooting animals for food. She is quite able to load, aim, shoot, kick out the brass, & reload all by herself. We obviously do not just “turn her loose” with a gun, we are ALWAYS right there, knelt down next to her to insure safety. She is VERY respectful of guns at 5 years old & understands that were she to encounter a weapon at someone else’s house that she does not touch it – but because we’ve taught her about gun safety starting at a very early age rather than making it taboo as so many people do, I believe she has a leg-up in the safety department. She understands safe handling practices, not “sweeping” people with a weapon (loaded or NOT), & knows how to determine if a safety is on or not. Don’t shy away from teaching them early – just instill safety safety safety. That is the surest way to keep them & others around them, well, safe. I wouldn’t have it any other way for our family & the age she started learning at.
Anyway – kudos to you for being another parent that will start their child early & SAFELY.

When I married, my husbands family hunted deer and I was given a wonderful rifle. In short time I could shoot more accurately than the entire family. So, I was given a 22 pistol and never missed a can. Hunting, I wore my pistol in a holster and carried my rifle on my shoulder. I took only one shot to take down a deer and they dropped instantly, so I never felt like there was pain involved. Plus, we always used the meat.
As years went by, and I was alone, I decided I needed to be more proactive. So I took classes and learned the safety (which I already knew) and the laws for our area. Now, I want to move to Texas where my grandpa lived years ago.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 3:19pmMore citizens need to not be afraid of being prosecuted for defending their lives. It is sick how the rights of the criminal are considered more than those they hurt and kill. Basically, I think that that most of us are fed up and sick and tired of this liberal progressive crap that takes care of criminals more than the decent law abiding citizens. It is because most liberal progressives are criminal types so they are just protecting their own.
Report Post »Good for her! Yeah! It is sad that something like this had to happen so soon after her husbands death and I am sure her husband would be proud of her.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 7:04pmExactly. The degenerates on the left do not want us to be able to defend ourselves. They want degenerates like themselves, and her attacker to be free to do as they please. in new york or any of the other liberal enclaves this woman would be prosecuted for what happened. That she felt the need to “ask permission” of some authority figure before defending herself infuriates me.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 7:51pmGun CONTROL is not a ban on guns. Gun control is about not selling guns to people with a criminal background and keeping armor piercing rounds out of the hands of criminals who would use them to kill cops wearing kevlar.
But hey, let’s use a story about a woman using a shotgun, which is not a concern for most gun control activists, to make it easier for criminals to buy heavy weaponry that can be used against cops! That sounds like a great idea!

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 10:13pm@Jean…Gun Control is about how steady you hold your weapon of choice…Disarmament is about politicians deciding what your weapon of choice can be. Please learn the difference before making another foolish statment.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 3:18pmWOW, even in a screwed up state like New York, Illinois or Chicago, they could not get a conviction if you shot someone that you thought was trying to kill you. If they even attempted to press charges, I would say someone would be justified in doing something to the prosecutor.
We have the RIGHT, to Life, Liberty and Property. NO ONE, including the government has the right to take away your GOD given right to self protection.
Way to go girl! Too bad the buddy was not laid to rest also!

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 9:59pmObviously you have not read about past events in New York City – If you kill some that is threatening you with a weapon, and you shoot them, you will go to jail. (unless you are a politician, police, or a friend of a politician or police) They will stick you in jail for the mere possession and use of a firearm, no matter what your reasons are!

Posted on January 5, 2012 at 3:23amThat is why I said conviction. I made a mistake in my comment, Chicago should have been California.
All it would take for someone being arrested for protecting themselves, to get released, would be to get media attention. If it happened anywhere near me, in Wisconsin, I would be at the DA’s office and the Sheriff day and night until the person was released.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 3:17pmIt is really sad when citizens are so worried about being prosecuted for defending themselves that they feel they have to call for permission to defend themselves. Thank goodness this woman had a gun, knew how to use it, and did so. It may have saved her life and that of her baby. I’m sure liberal think what she did was really wise – asking for permission to defend herself.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 3:23pmI agree its sad the young lady felt she had to ask permission to defend herself, but I love how the dispatcher responded, “do what you gotta do to defend your baby.” Ya, she was wise enough to give this young mother what she needed to hear.

I have often thought of “drilling” my family to react to such a situation. It doesn’t seem so insane to do such drills these days. I hope she has some family and friends to consult with after all of this.
