The man was taken to a nearby hospital and his condition was not immediately available. Police initially reported two people were shot. This is the 14th officer-involved shooting involving Oklahoma City police in 2014.
About 8:30 p.m., two police officers tried to initiate a traffic stop near NE 28 and Laird Avenue, but the vehicle continued to drive at a slow rate of speed, police Capt. Paco Balderrama said.
Officers followed the vehicle until it crashed at the north gate of the Heritage Pointe apartment complex near NE 26 and Kelley Avenue. The driver got out of the vehicle and ran south into the apartment complex, Balderrama said.
Officers ran after the driver and said they saw him brandish a firearm. The officers fired their weapons and shot the man, Balderrama said.
People at the scene said the man was shot in the back and in the head, but Balderrama said he did not know where the man was hit.
Both officers have been placed on paid administrative leave, and detectives are investigating the shooting. People at the scene said the man was shot in the back and in the head, but Balderrama said where the man was hit and details of the shooting are still being investigated.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the police at 297-1126.
No names were released Sunday night.
