Sarah McKinley was alone with her three-month-old son in their Blanchard home when they had to go through a nightmarish incident. It was New Year’s Eve and this 18-year-old from Oklahoma had just lost her husband to cancer on Christmas Day. But when two armed men attempted to break into their home, they were in for a very unpleasant surprise. This was no regular young mother.
Sarah’s maternal instincts kicked in and she did something unexpected and exceptionally brave to stop the men who tried to force themselves into her home. The following video shares a chilling 911 call between Sarah and the dispatchers. She called 911 while the men were still trying to break in. When the man was able to kick down her door, this shotgun-toting mother killed the intruder after a 911 operator told her, “Do what you have to do to protect your baby.”
According to the Blanchard police, 24-year-old Justin Martin, who charged Sarah with a 12 inch hunting knife, was hit in the upper torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His ally, 29-year-old Dustin Louis Stewart, fled but later surrendered to authorities. Police justified Sarah’s act as self-defense and no charges were filed against her.
Perhaps she struggled with this decision, but I’m sure when she sees her baby safe and healthy every day, she has no regrets about what she did. When forced to choose, she didn’t hesitate to protect her baby and herself from what was sure to be a disaster.
