Rogers County deputy shoots, kills man after pursuit

A man was shot and killed by a Rogers County deputy Tuesday morning, according to Sheriff Scott Walton.

Sheriff Walton said it started when deputies attempted to stop a driver near I-44 and 161st East Avenue around 2am.

We’re told the driver refused to stop, leading deputies on a slow-speed chase to near Admiral and 129th East Avenue in Tulsa.

Sheriff Walton said the suspect rammed a deputy’s vehicle. Walton said the pursuit continued before the suspect’s vehicle left the roadway.

The suspect is then said to have charged deputies on foot and a fight began.

Sheriff Walton said the suspect was able to partially unholster one deputy’s weapon. That’s when another deputy shot the suspect.

The suspect died, according to the sheriff.
