Tinker releases statement after shooting suspect taken into custody at base
On Monday, an Oklahoma County deputy died and another was injured after a suspect opened fire in an Oklahoma City neighborhood.
WE SAW OFFICERS TACKLED THE SUSPECT WITHIN SECONDS. REPORTER: THAT’S RIGHT. THE WORLD CHASE CAME TO AN END HERE AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE WHERE THE SUSPECT WAS SWARMED BY POLICE OVER MY SHOULDER, THAT IS WHERE THE SUSPECT PULLED THE TRUCK AND BOAT, JUST FEET AWAY FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE AT THE AIR FORCE BASE. AGAIN, MET WITH 30 POLICE VEHICLES WHERE HE WAS ARRESTED AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN SEE THE AIRBASE IS NOW BACK OPEN. BUT FROM OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE, WE DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS HIS END GOAL. IF HIS TARGET WAS TO COME TO TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, OR IF THIS WERE JUST A SERIES OF BAD TURNS. WHEN THEY OPENED THE AIR FORCE BASE AGAIN, WE SAW THREE TOW TRUCKS WITH THE BOAT, THE OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE CRUISER, AND YOU CAN SEE THE BULLET HOLES THROUGH THE WINDOWS. AGAIN, W.
