Oklahoma man Leland Foster (pictured) was shot and killed by a neighbor Friday as he attempted to drown twin babies.
Officials say Foster was allegedly threatening the mother of the infants with a knife during an altercation. A 12-year-old girl who was in the home ran to a neighbor’s house screaming for help. That’s when neighbor, Cash Freeman, rushed back over to the home to find Foster trying to drown the 3-month-old twins, a boy and a girl, in the home’s bathtub. h/t kfor

He then shot Foster twice in the back with a gun.
Freeman told a local press outlet, off camera, that he “did what he had to do” to save the babies. He also said he was concerned that he could possibly be in trouble with the law.
The spokesperson for Ada police said Freeman was questioned and released, but will have to go before the district attorney to see if it was a justified homicide.
The babies were flown via LifeFlight to an Oklahoma City hospital but have since been released.
