A woman fired a gun after crashing her car and was fatally shot by police

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma police fatally shot a woman who fired a gun and threatened officers with the gun after a vehicle crash, authorities said.

The woman crashed her vehicle at an intersection in northwest Oklahoma City on Thursday evening.

The woman was a suspect in an earlier shooting, police Capt. Valerie Littlejohn said. Seven officers who arrived at the scene attempted to make contact with her, and all seven opened fire when she threatened them, Littlejohn said.

“We don’t know if she was shooting at someone or just shooting [the bullets] in the air or in the ground,” Littlejohn said.

Authorities will review the body camera videos to see if they can get further answers, the police captain said.

None of the seven officers were injured. All have been placed on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation, Littlejohn said.

No names have been released at this time.
