I feel for this young woman. Not only was she forced into defending herself and her son with lethal force, now she has to worry about the accomplice of the man she had to shoot. Believe me, the court order to keep the him away from her isn't going to stop him if he decides to eliminate the only witness.

She is going to be terrified until he goes to jail.

A man who allegedly tried to break into the home of a recently widowed Oklahoma woman -- who shot and killed his alleged fellow intruder after calling 911 -- was freed Thursday on bail despite a first-degree murder charge, a court clerk said.

Although he did not fire the fatal shot, 29-year-old Dustin Louis Stewart is charged with first-degree felony murder in the incident because if someone dies during the commission of certain crimes, such as burglary, an alleged accomplice can be charged in the death, prosecutors have said.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?

Okla. Woman Shoots, Kills Intruder: 911 Operators Say It's OK to Shoot

To be fair, the 911 operator did NOT tell the woman it was OK for her to shoot the intruders. After verifying that the doors were locked, the dispatcher told her "I can't tell you that you can do that [shoot the intruders] but you do what you have to do to protect your baby."

Of course, the headline is much more inflammatory the way they wrote it. Confused

A young Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby on New Year's Eve, less than a week after the baby's father died of cancer.

Sarah McKinley says that a week earlier a man named Justin Martin dropped by on the day of her husband's funeral, claiming that he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello. The 18-year-old Oklahoma City area woman did not let him into her home that day.

On New Year's Eve Martin returned with another man, Dustin Stewart, and this time was armed with a 12-inch hunting knife. The two soon began trying to break into McKinley's home.
