MIDWEST CITY, Oklahoma -- Police are trying to determine if a stabbing in Midwest City was self-defense or if a crime was committed.

County deputies said the victim, a 26-year-old, was picking up his mother when he found the house locked. He was concerned so he kicked in the front door.

Police say that's when the victim’s step-father confronted him, shot him with a pellet gun and stabbed him in the chest with a hunting knife.

The step-son’s injuries are not life threatening. He was released from an area hospital.

Investigators are trying to determine if the 48-year-old step-father committed a crime or if it was self-defense.
