One man is dead after an officer-involved shooting late Sunday night on Broken Arrow’s south side, and the Broken Arrow Police Department is investigating.
The incident happened this evening in the 8600 block of S. Willow Springs Court, near 131st Street and Aspen Avenue and the Indian Springs Sports Complex.
Around 8 p.m. officers responded to a residential area for a “call for service” — the nature of which officers would not comment on.
Officers located the subject’s vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The subject did not respond to officers’ commands and, according to police, “ultimately exited the vehicle armed with a gun and shots were fired by officers,” said BAPD Public Information Officer Ethan Hutchins.
Officers immediately rendered first aid to the subject, who was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
The incident remains under investigation. Due to tribal components, the FBI is assisting in the investigation.
“This was an isolated incident and there is no further risk to the surrounding residents,” Hutchins said.
