About this listen

 On June 1, officers responded to a shooting incident near 56th Street and Harvard Avenue in South Tulsa. A jogger had been shot in the leg before 3 PM. While officers and first responders were assisting the jogger, a suspect appeared from behind a fire truck and allegedly fired at officers. The suspect then fled the scene in a car, leading police on a pursuit that ended in a cul-de-sac near 56th Street and Delaware Avenue. There, the suspect allegedly fired at officers again before being shot by police. The suspect died at the scene. The jogger was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No officers or additional bystanders were hurt. Officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave while the incident remains under investigation. Police have not released the name of the suspect as they continue to determine a motive and notify next of kin. Investigators blocked portions of 56th Street and Gary Avenue during the response.
