OKLAHOMA CITY (Free Press) — One man from the west side of Oklahoma City is in the OU Medical Center recovering from being shot by three officers with the Oklahoma City Police Departmentn (OKCPD.)
Sunday, around 10 a.m., officers were sent to 4049 N.W. 10th Street in response to calls about an “armed man” making “threatening statements,” OKCPD MSgt. Gary Knight stated in a press release.
Once at the address, three officers “quickly became engaged in an armed confrontation” with Ralph Tuggle, 61, who police say was also armed.
Tuggle was shot but survived and is in OU Medical Center.
The three officers are on administrative leave pending an investigation which is the routine response of the department in any shooting incident. They are:
- MSgt. Chris Spillman.
- SSgt. Kyle Neller.
- Sgt. Grant Wheeler.
The current medical condition of Tuggle has not been updated since Tuesday.
