OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma police shot and killed a woman who fired a gun and threatened officers with the weapon after a car crash, authorities said.
The woman was a suspect in an earlier shooting, police Capt. Valerie Littlejohn said. Seven officers who arrived at the scene of the crash tried to make contact with her but opened fire when she threatened them, Littlejohn said.
“We don’t know if she shot someone or just shot them in the air or in the ground,” Littlejohn said.
Authorities will review the bodycam video to see if they can get more answers, the police chief said.
None of the seven officers were injured. All were placed on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation, Littlejohn said.
