Here is another nighttime incident, this from an Oklahoma City apartment. Apparently a man recently released from prison, John Adame, was sleeping outside apartment doors. The neighbors let him sleep there because “it was cold” and they’ve “had homeless people come sleep here before.” Unfortunately, their kindness didn’t pay off. “Next thing you know, we heard someone try to open our door.” Then the tried the neighbor’s door.
“He was like yelling and cursing and yelling racial slurs at her and saying he was going to break in,” said Wetselline. “I was still on the phone with the police saying, ‘He’s trying to break into her door, and she has kids over there.’”
The mother of four shot Adame in the neck after he broke down her door. He subsequently turned and ran, but was found a short time later, seriously wounded.
Perhaps the lesson here is to not be complacent about security; when a situation appears uncomfortable to you, act.
