A man accused of shooting at an Okmulgee residence is in custody.

Okmulgee Police said they responded to reports of a shooting in the 1300 block of North Buffalo around 11:00 Friday morning.

When they arrived, officers said they found the residence was hit by gunfire twice.

Witnesses identified 64-year-old Michael Johnson as the shooter. They told police Johnson was upset his former girlfriend was looking for her because he was angry she ended the relationship.

One of the family members ran into the home, police said. They said Johnson tried to force the door open before firing twice.
