BWC: Man shoots, wounds 2 Okla. deputies before fatal OIS

Two Logan County deputies were walking through a yard, issuing instructions for the man to show himself, when both were suddenly struck by gunfire

LOGAN COUNTY, Okla. — The Logan County Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage from an officer-involved shooting of a man who shot two officers, News 9 reported.

Deputies initially responded to a home following a 911 call from a woman who reported her ex-husband was harassing her and mentioned that he had an outstanding warrant, according to the report. Upon arrival, deputies were informed that the man was hiding near a pool.

Video shows one deputy approaching the pool area and calling the suspect by name before being shot. Footage captures blood dripping from the deputy’s upper body as he retreats for cover. A second deputy was also struck and radioed for assistance.

Additional law enforcement units responded to the scene, and the sheriff’s office later deployed a drone to locate the suspect, who was found deceased, according to the report.

Another deputy, who was on the other side of the house, was able to return fire and strike the man, KOKH reported.
