A homeowner defends his home with extreme force. It happened at a home located on East 7th Place around 1 AM Thursday.

Tulsa Police were checking on a call of gunfire in the neighborhood when they were called to the home. It seems the homeowner took action when an unknown man under the influence of alcohol or drugs threatened his family.

Tulsa Police Captain GB Poindexter: "He had a gun in his hand, pointed at the resident who opened the door. The resident's father came out and shot the bad guy one time in the right side."

The man was taken to a local hospital, his injuries are not life threatening. No one in the home was arrested.

The District Attorney will determine whether to file charges.
