Tulsa Police Investigate Fatal Shooting



The News on 6 has the names of those involved in a deadly midtown Tulsa shooting Tuesday night.



Tulsa Police say John Anderson was confronted on his front porch on 15th Street between Yale and Sheridan Tuesday night by his 21-year-old son, Steve and Steve's 56-year-old roommate, Carl Billetdoux.



They say the father had a shotgun and told his son and Billetdoux to leave. That's when officers say Billetdoux went to a truck and got his "own" gun. He went back to the porch and pointed it at the father, but the father fired first, hitting him in the chest.



The son took his injured roommate to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. No arrests have been made in the case.

A subsequent July 28th story in the Tulsa World reported, “Calling it ‘a classic case of self-defense,’ prosecutors declined to file charges Tuesday against a man who fatally shot his son's roommate.”
