McKinley has said it took authorities 21 minutes to reach her after Justin Shane Martin began pounding on her door on New Year's Eve.
A 911 call released to The Oklahoman by Grady County shows that the alleged accomplice in the home invasion, Dustin Louis Stewart, drove panicked through a pasture near McKinley's home minutes after the confrontation and told the dispatcher he was “scared to death” and “I think it was my friend that got shot.”
McKinley was at home with her 3-month old boy at the time Martin forced his way into her home. Two minutes before officers arrived, she shot and killed Martin with a 12-gauge shotgun.

Thompson happened to be at the department feeding a cat when the call came in. He grabbed a shotgun and headed to McKinley's home in a patrol car. When he arrived eight minutes later, he entered through the back door and saw a stunned McKinley standing in her kitchen, still gripping the weapon she used to kill Martin, 24. A sheriff's deputy arrived about the same time, Thompson said. “She seemed very excited, a little confused,” Thompson said. “I think it was just a very traumatic moment for her. I think she was probably in shock. The child was in her bedroom on the bed where she had placed him with the bottle,” Thompson continued. “She told us he had been crying but she gave him the bottle to quiet him.”
McKinley was afraid Martin wasn't dead, Thompson said. He confirmed that he was.

“I don't feel safe anywhere I go. I have a gun on me 24/7,” McKinley said on [Dr. Phil].
