Tulsa, OK: Tulsa police officer shoots and kills suspect

Last Update: 2/26 10:04 pm

A Tulsa police officer shot and killed a domestic violence suspect Friday night. It happened shortly before 9:30 p.m. in the 1000 block of North Florence Place.

Police told 2NEWS that when officers responded to a domestic disturbance, they could see that a woman had been abused. When an officer tried to arrest a man at the house, police say the suspect began struggling with the officer.

Police say the suspect then reached for the officer's gun. At that point, a second officer shot and killed the suspect.

Detectives are now interviewing the officers. Their names have not been released. The suspect has not been identified, either.
