Officers were dispatched to the 800 block of South Juniper Place in Broken Arrow to a domestic disturbance involving a knife on Saturday afternoon. The initial report information indicated two men were involved in a fight over a gun.
Upon arrival, officers located an individual who stated he'd secured the firearm. At that time, officers saw another man come from behind a house nearly half a block east of them, armed with a knife. That individual, whose identity is not being released at this time, began verbally challenging officers as he approached them and refused to comply with their commands. The suspect entered a home and began to throw kitchen knives at the officers; while shouting obscenities and making threats to harm them.
Officers used pepper balls to get him to come outside. The man exited the garage of the residence armed with a knife and walked briskly toward nearby officers. An officer fired a single shot at the suspect, striking him in the abdomen.
Officers rendered aide to the suspect until an ambulance arrived. The suspect was transported to a Tulsa hospital in an unknown condition.
