Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

From January 27, 2006 KOCO channel 5:
A shooting in northwest Oklahoma City on Friday that resulted in the death of one man was justified, according to initial reports from metro police.

Officers said that a man broke into a home at 3101 NW Grand Blvd., when the owner of the home awakened from a nap and shot him.

Police said it does not appear that the resident will face any charges. They said it appears the shooting falls under Oklahoma's make-my-day laws, which allow residents to use lethal force on people breaking into their homes.
UPDATE: From January 30, 2006 KTEN channel 10:
Oklahoma City police have identified a man killed after apparently breaking into home last week as an Oklahoma City man.
Police say John Simmons the third was shot by James Petery after Petery confronted the man inside his house about 2 a-m last Friday.

Petery told police he was awakened by a loud noise and got a gun to investigate. He says he shot once when Simmons made a move toward him.
