Young mom forced to protect her 3 month old baby

Authorities don't plan to file charges against an Oklahoma woman who fatally shot a New Year's Eve intruder at her house while she had a 911 dispatcher on the phone. It was later learned that her husband had died about a week earlier — on Christmas Day — after being hospitalized with complications from lung cancer.

A 911 tape released to Oklahoma City media outlets Wednesday reveals that 18-year-old Sarah McKinley, whose 3-month-old son was with her, had asked a Grady County dispatcher for permission to shoot the intruder.

"I've got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?"

"Well, you have to do whatever you can do to protect yourself," the dispatcher is heard telling McKinley. "I can't tell you that you can do that, but you have to do what you have to do to protect your baby."
