An Oklahoma man was fatally shot by his neighbor while trying to drown his own children in a bathtub on Friday, reports said.
Leland Foster, 27, allegedly threatened to kill the mother of his children with a knife during the incident and she called police.
Police said they received a call around noon from the woman who said Foster was trying murder her and her children. Police said the woman was screaming while on the call.
A 12-year-old girl who was in the home at the time rushed over to neighbor Cash Freeman’s house for help, according to KFOR-TV.
Freeman reportedly grabbed a gun and when he arrived at the home, he found Foster trying to drown his 3-month-old twins – a boy and a girl – in the bathtub.
Freeman reportedly shot foster twice in the back, killing him.
The babies were taken to the hospital and are in stable condition, according to police.
A police spokesperson told KFOR that Freeman was questioned and released.
It is not clear whether Freeman will face charges for the shooting.
