A 31-year-old man found himself running from bullets after a mother found him in her 16-year-old daughter’s bedroom, police say.

Valerie Fowler, of Paoli, Okla., shot Brandon Vail twice after she found him and her daughter kissing, according to an affidavit. Vail survived and was taken to a hospital by helicopter, while Fowler was arrested on charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

The teen, who was identified in the affidavit as K.P., told police that her boyfriend had been coming over three times a week after her mother left for work at 5:30 a.m.

But on Monday morning, Fowler kicked in the locked bedroom door and fired a shot at Vail as he tried to get out of bed, according to the affidavit. Vail ran toward the hallway, while Fowler fired a second shot at him.

Michael Lewis, police chief for Paoli, about 50 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, was called about 7:20 a.m. to a nearby trailer home, where he found Vail lying on the front porch, according to the affidavit.

Investigators found bloodstains on the bed and sheets, as well as on the walls and floors of Fowler’s house. They also found a handgun.

Lewis told NBC affiliate KFOR that the 16-year-old girl and a young child witnessed the shooting. Lewis was not immediately available for comment Tuesday.

The exact formula today to avoid the creepy, icky charge is 1/2 your age +7.

OK, if something happens to Mrs. JimRed, I guess I can live with a 43-year-old kid...

Yeah if that’s true the mom is in trouble.

Not technically a pedophile then, just a pervert. I don’t think many people care about the semantics.

Yeah, there REALLY is, a paedophile will prey on ANYONE who turns him/her on....a pervert is attracted to sexually enticing people capable of satisfying his/her sexual desires...usually people who are capable of reacting to the sexual attack whether favorable or not.....a 14 year old is, a 3 year old is not.
