A man shot an intruder Sunday morning in his northwest Oklahoma City
apartment, police Lt. Dee Patty said.

The man and his wife told police they were sleeping about 5 a.m. at
Prairie Springs Apartments, 9777 N Council Road, when the wife heard
their security alarm beeping.

The husband, whose name was not released, told police he grabbed his
.40-caliber pistol and walked out of his bedroom to look for an
intruder. He said he found a man in another part of the apartment. When
the intruder tried to run, he shot him in the hip.

The burglar made it to the second-floor balcony and jumped.

A short while later, a woman at the Lyrewood Point Apartments, 7806
Lyrewood Lane, called police to report that her boyfriend had been shot
while the couple were jogging, Patty said.

Police found the man at Lyrewood Point Apartments with a gunshot wound
in his hip.

After questioning the man and woman, police arrested them.

Bryant Rice, 25, and Leslie Ellason, 24, were taken to the Oklahoma
County jail, Patty said. Rice was treated for the gunshot wound, she
said.

Ellason was booked on complaints of possession of marijuana and burglary
and held in lieu of $11,000 bail.

Rice was being questioned Sunday night.
