OKLAHOMA CITY -
A man is hospitalized following a shootout with an Oklahoma City police officer Saturday morning. Investigators said the suspect fired first before the officer returned fire.
The shooting happened near Northeast 52nd Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard just after 2 a.m.
According to police, the officer responded to another call as he was driving along MLK when another driver approached and struck the police vehicle. Just started hitting him,” Oklahoma City Police Department Captain Dan Stewart said. “Basically side swiped him.”
The officer then slowed down to stop, but the other driver then accelerated and hit him again.
An Oklahoma City police officer was shot on the northeast side of the metro.
The officer was shot on Saturday afternoon near the intersection of North Martin Luther King Avenue and Northeast 48th Street.
“They were all lined up down there, all over there on that side,” a witness, who wished not to be identified, said.
Gunfire erupted in what some neighbors describe as a rather quiet neighborhood.
“Yeah, it was like 12 to 13 shots,” a neighbor said. “Like, they were shooting back and forth.”
When officers walked up to the house, someone inside opened fire, shooting an officer in the chest and hand.
