He'll think twice before trying to break into that house again.

A convicted felon from Joplin is accused of an attempted burglary in northeast Oklahoma.

Authorities say the man was met at the door by a mom with a pistol, who said she fired to protect her and her 3-year-old son.

The would-be thief wasn't hurt, but his truck got hit.

Deputies say the bullet hole in the windshield helped them spot the truck and flag it down.
