A man was taken to a hospital after exchanging gunfire with police Tuesday afternoon in an Oklahoma City neighborhood.
Around 10:20 a.m., police received a call about a man waving a gun around while standing on the front porch of a home in the 1400 block of Northwest 129th Terrace, near Western Avenue and Northwest 122nd Street. The homeowner, who wasn’t home, told police they saw it all through a security camera.
Officers started talking to the man, who police said wasn’t responding to commands.
The man eventually fired his weapon at least once, authorities said. An officer opened fire, shooting and wounding the man.
Crews took the man to a hospital. His condition is unknown.
Police said no officers were injured.
Authorities have not released many details about the man but said he is a former acquaintance of the homeowner.
“Our investigators come out, and they’ll start handling the crime scene, our crime scene unit and processing evidence and doing interviews,” Capt. Valerie Littlejohn said.
The officer who fired at the man will be placed on paid administrative leave.
