A neighbor shot and killed an Oklahoma man who was trying to
drown his 3-month-old twins in a bathtub, police said Sunday.
The babies were "doing great" Sunday after having been released
from the hospital, police in Ada told NBC News.
Investigators were reviewing whether Cash Freeman of Ada, about
50 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, should face charges in the
shooting death on Friday of Leland Foster, 27, said Lisa
Bratcher, a spokeswoman for Ada police.
Bratcher said Foster, who lives in Poteau, about 130 miles east
of Ada, showed up at a home where his estranged wife, identified
as Michelle Forrells, was staying with their twins.
When Foster pulled Forrells and their children into a bathroom
and started trying to drown the children — while holding
Forrells at knifepoint — a 12-year-old girl also living in the
house ran for help, Bratcher said.
Freeman, a neighbor, grabbed his revolver, entered the home, saw
Foster trying to kill the children and shot him twice in the
back, Bratcher said.
Bratcher said there might be police video of officers' response
to the incident, which was called in at 12:38 p.m. (1:38 p.m.
ET) Friday.
A neighbor, Summer Pierce, called the incident "awful."
"I've held the babies, and I've played with them, and I just
gave them clothes," Pierce told NBC affiliate KFOR of Oklahoma
City.
"I think he did the right thing, because who knows what would
happen?" Pierce said. "Who knows what would have happened to the
babies if he hadn't intervened? They might not have made it."
The girl who ran for help wasn't identified other than as the
granddaughter of the home's permanent residents.
