TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — A man drove himself to his Tulsa home after being shot during a home invasion in Sand Springs, according to the Osage County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies say they were called to a home on Heritage Hills Drive in Sand Springs just after 8 p.m. Thursday night for a home invasion.

The homeowner shot the suspect, now identified as 52-year-old Robert Lee Johnson, in the face with a .45 caliber, according to the sheriff's office.

Deputies say Johnson was in the process of assaulting his ex-girlfriend when he was shot, who is also the homeowner's niece.

Johnson laid down in the home after being shot and then got up and drove his car to his home in Tulsa.

The OCSO says Johnson's daughter found him bleeding out and called 911.

Johnson was transported to a local hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound to his mouth and cheek, and he will be sedated for a few days before deputies will arrest him.

Johnson's ex-girlfriend had been staying with her uncle to avoid an abusive relationship with Johnson.

The homeowner will not be facing charges.
