An armed homeowner in Oklahoma found an intruder in his kitchen in the middle of the night earlier this week — and promptly let his gun explain how unwelcome the intruder was.

Tulsa police said officers responded around 2:30 a.m. Monday to a shooting at a home near 24th and Sheridan. The homeowner said he and his wife woke up to noises coming from their back door. When the homeowner went to investigate, police said he was surprised to discover a burglar in his kitchen.
