OKC Police investigating non-fatal police shooting, 6th of year
Five Oklahoma City Police Department officers have been placed on leave while the department investigates a shooting they were involved in Saturday.
The five police officers responded to a domestic call shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday in the 700 block of NE 34 Terrace, according to police. Upon arrival, the officers found a woman and juvenile being held inside the home by an armed suspect, officials said.
The armed man fired his weapon inside the home and the woman and juvenile escaped, officials said.
Officials said the man stepped out of the home, holding a pistol, which he raised "in the direction of the officers, leading the officers to open fire."
Terrance Harris, 48, was taken into custody outside the home and taken to a local hospital where he was treated for "non-life-threatening injuries" before being taken to the Oklahoma County Jail, according to police.
Harris was arrested on complaints of pointing a firearm, kidnapping and possession of a firearm while in commission of a felony. Official charges have not been filed and he remains in the Oklahoma County jail, according to court records.
The officers involved in the shooting — Lt. Gilbert Chapa; Sgt. Trayvion Jones; Sgt. Daniel Carli; and officers Steven McIntyre and Nathan Plouffe — have a combined 44 years with the department, police said. All five were placed on "routine administrative leave" while the incident is under investigation, according to officials.
