Mom, son take down 20-year-old suspect

McAlester — A woman and her son defended their home with bravery on Tuesday in McAlester.

KRMG's told the woman woke up to 20-year-old Kaleb Oss standing over her with a gun and asking for the key to her safe. Investigators report the woman then struggled with Oss, while her son grabbed the suspect's gun.

Moments later, the woman grabbed a meat cleaver from the kitchen and hit Oss multiple times. The suspect was hospitalized, before going to jail.

Her son also needed medical attention for a cut on his wrist.

No word on how Oss knew about the apparent safe in the home.
