    Oklahoma City Police were called to a house on East Park Place, near NE 8th Street and Lottie Avenue around 4:30 a.m. The victim was frantically banging on neighbors doors, begging for help.

    “Please open the door. Please open the door. Please,” said the victim.

    “Which led to the victim being shot. He had a gunshot wound to his lower leg or his ankle. He fled the house,” said MSgt. Gary Knight, with the Oklahoma City Police Department.

    Neighbors called 911. The victim was rushed to a hospital. His injuries are not life threatening.

    “He was able to point out the residence where the shooting happened. When officers got there, they began calling people out methodically,” said Knight. “It took a while, but eventually everybody came out.”

    Witnesses were taken in for questioning. Ladd was arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, having a gun after being convicted of a felony, and kidnapping.

    “That is disturbing a little bit because we don’t hear that around here,” said Timothy Shelton who lives in the area. “I got grandkids who stay here with me. This is a good neighborhood.”
