TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police shot at a man who they say was waving a gun around on Highway 11 on Thursday morning.

The Tulsa Police Department says one of their off-duty officers was driving on the highway near Tulsa International Airport around 9 a.m. when he saw a man waving a gun around. Police say the officer "engaged" with the man, and the man shot at him. The officer fired back and but Tulsa police say they aren't sure if the officer shot the man or if he already had the gunshot wound.
