Tulsa Police arrest a man accused of shooting with intent to kill, assaulting an officer and being a felon with a gun.
Records show this is Edward White’s 4th arrest for being a felon with a gun and his 3rd arrest for assaulting an officer.
Police say White went to his neighbor’s house yesterday afternoon to talk about wi-fi and after knocking on the door a few times, White fired shots through the window, hitting the neighbor in the shoulder.
The neighbor is going to be okay.
