Multi-Agency Investigation Underway After Oklahoma Officer-Involved Shooting

On Friday morning, the Idabel Police Department, Choctaw Nation Lighthorse Police Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation requested the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to assist with an officer-involved shooting, according to OSBI.

OSBI stated that on Thursday, officers with IPD were dispatched to a residence, regarding a domestic violence incident. It was determined that a male suspect was armed inside the home, according to OSBI.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Choctaw Nation Lighthorse Police SWAT team were requested to assist, and officers attempted to contact the suspect for several hours, but negotiation attempts failed said investigators.

The suspect was able to access a vehicle and attempted to flee the scene, driving towards officers, said OSBI. Gunshots were fired at the vehicle, leading to the suspects death, according to OSBI.

OSBI confirmed that the officers on scene were not injured.
