Cushing, OK – Donna Jackson called 911 early Friday morning to report that she was home alone and a crazy drunk-sounding guy was screaming threats at her and attempting to break into her home. The 57-year-old woman informed the would-be burglar that she was on the phone with police, and she also mentioned that she was armed. (Donna was packin’ a 16-gauge shotgun). That wasn’t much of a deterrent – he was still outside, trying to get in. He kept yelling something about his truck and kept calling for someone named Pat. Donna begged dispatch to get someone out there post haste – she didn’t want to shoot the man, but by god, she would if necessary. “They need to hurry. He’s going to break this thing open. When he does, I’ll have to kill him and I don’t want to kill him,” she told the dispatcher. “I don’t want to have to kill this man, but I’ll kill him graveyard dead ma’am.” Ha! I love this lady.
If you listen to the 911 call, you can hear the man yelling and banging on the door, hell, it made me a little nervous just hearing it – yet Donna remained rather calm for the duration of the call. Until, that is, the man actually made entrance into the home by busting through the patio door. At that point, you can hear the phone drop and the gun go off. After taking care of business, Donna got back on the phone, “I shot him. I’m going out front. I hit him. God help me,” Donna said. “Please dear God. I think I killed him. Please Father in heaven, oh my god.” The man, 53-year-old Billy Dean Riley, died on the scene from a gunshot wound to the chest. It is believed that he was under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or a combination of the two. Investigators say Riley, who has about 20 years worth of alcohol and drug convictions, and his sister had been driving near the Donna’s house when Riley landed his truck in a ditch. Authorities later found his 45-year-old sister, Patricia Totty, passed out in the passenger seat of that truck – it’s believed that drugs and alcohol may have played a factor in her unconsciousness. She was transported to a hospital and is said to be in good condition.
