Lawton, OK – The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) has been called to investigate an officer-involved shooting that took place recently in rural Grady County. The incident began after local authorities pursued a suspect driving a stolen vehicle, ultimately leading to a confrontation in a field off County Street 2960.
According to the OSBI, the chase ended when the suspect’s vehicle was stopped in the field. As officers approached, they reportedly saw the man holding a firearm. While details surrounding the exact sequence of events remain unclear, the OSBI confirmed that an officer-involved shooting occurred during the interaction between law enforcement and the suspect.
The suspect was injured in the shooting and is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital. No other injuries were reported in connection with the incident.
The OSBI has stated that it is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, which is standard procedure in cases involving law enforcement and the use of deadly force. The agency has not released the identity of the suspect or the officers involved, nor have they disclosed further details about the events leading up to the shooting.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging the public to await further updates. The incident has raised questions about law enforcement protocols in high-stakes situations, but answers will likely emerge once the OSBI concludes its review.
