TULSA — The manhunt for the suspect in two violent shootings that occurred in the space of two days ended Friday in east Tulsa when police surrounded a home, triggering a standoff that ended in gunfire.
Police had named Barton Vann, 42, as the suspect in a homicide which occurred Tuesday near 15th and Sheridan.
Wednesday, they say he got into a fight with an acquaintance over a motorcycle and shot the man, who survived his wounds.
Instead, officers say, he jumped on a motorcycle in the garage and attempted to flee.
Friday, police surrounded a home near 21st and Mingo and demanded Vann surrender.
But as the garage door came up, a police sniper fired at least two rounds, striking Vann and ending the standoff.
He was transported to the hospital, reportedly in serious condition.
TPD Sgt. Shane Tuell said they hope Vann will recover from his wounds so he can face justice for his alleged crimes.
