SAND SPRINGS, Okla. — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations is looking into an officer-involved shooting that led to a standoff in Sand Springs Friday.
Sand Springs police said it started around 3:30 pm Friday when officers were called to Walmart in reference to a larceny.
Officers found the suspect, 32-year-old Nathan Burks, who ran away to a nearby parking lot.
When officers approached Burks, who was hiding behind a dumpster, he fired a shot and an officer responded by firing one shot, according to the OSBI. No one was hit by the gunfire.
A standoff then ensued until a negotiator was able to convince Burks to surrender.
Burks was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery upon a police officer, reckless conduct, obstruction and larceny.
