Man Shot and Killed in Confrontation With Tulsa Police

KWGS News

Tulsa Police say a man is dead after he pointed a gun at officers on Sunday afternoon. It happened near Pine and Dawson Road in north Tulsa.

Police Sergeant Shane Tuell says officers rolled up on a stalled car. The woman in the car said she was waiting on her boyfriend who was coming to help her. When the man arrived, for some reason, he reportedly pulled a gun on officers. It is unclear if he fired a shot before officers shot him. He died on the way to the hospital.

At this point, no names have been released.
