A chase was taking place Monday morning in Oklahoma by a “dangerous and armed” suspect who police said shot two officers during a traffic stop.
The shooter, identified by Tulsa police as David Ware, “pointed a gun at officers and shot multiple times.” Officers are now in critical condition and are undergoing surgery, while Ware fled the scene in eastern Tulsa on foot, the department added. .
“If you live in this area, be very aware of your surroundings, if your dogs are barking, give us a call and we will go see it,” police said in a Facebook post. “If he’s willing to shoot us, he’s probably willing to shoot anyone.”
