TULSA, Okla. — Law enforcement officers shot and killed a man early Saturday at Rose Hill Cemetery in Tulsa.
Tulsa police say they were called to assist after a Muscogee Nation Lighthorse officer tried to stop a driver near 81st and Riverside around 3:30 a.m. Police say the driver fired multiple shots from the car during the pursuit.
Officers say they used stop sticks to deflate the driver's tires. He then drove into the cemetery near Admiral and Yale and came to a stop.
Investigators say the driver got out of the vehicle with a semi-automatic pistol and a short, pistol-gripped pump shotgun.
Police say the man ignored commands, and both Tulsa police officers and Lighthorse officers fired at him and killed him.
The Tulsa officers who fired their weapons are on administrative leave while the shooting is under investigation. No officers were injured.
