TPD Involved in Saturday Night Fatal Shooting

Google Street View

For a third time this month,  a Tulsa Police officer is involved in a shooting. The latest took place last night near 4th and South Garnett. Tulsa Police and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol had been attempting to stop a reportedly stolen vehicle.

The car pulled over and the driver jumped from the car and started running. Law enforcement gave chase on foot. The suspect ran to the front door of a home and tried to kick-in the door. As officers approached the man reportedly pulled a weapon. That is when the TPD officer fired.  The man was dead at the scene.

Three other people in the car were taken to police headquarters for questioning. Names have not been released.
