Just come up with photo’s (the cop’s cell phone?) of the gun in perp’s possession ... it is at least SOME qualifying evidence when it goes to trial

:: The officer got out of his vehicle and confronted the man.
He said he saw a gun in the man’s waistband.
When the man began walking toward the officer, the officer said the man reached for the gun.

*sneeze* ! bullsh*t !

We’ve learned the off-duty officer questioned by police is from the Oklahoma City area
and is a security officer for the Veterans Affairs department.......

Witness, Joy Smith was across the street and said she saw a fight break out across the
street and someone pull a gun.

“It was a loud pop, pop, pop, pop,” Smith said. “I just truly went into shock.
I thought about hitting the ground and, yeah, I just stood there.”

Tulsa Police Sergeant Dave Walker said the officer got out of his car when he saw a
man on top of a woman, punching her.

“He identifies himself, he gets them to separate and that’s when the confrontation
occurs,” Walker said.

He said the attacker and the officer both had their guns out when the officer
opened fire, hitting the man several times.

Parts of Tulsa and OKC have always been rough towns. I never go unarmed when I visit family there, and I used to live there years ago.

Though this was a Garth Brooks concert, and not one for Mylie Cyrus’ father, whatsisname, I can’t resist the quip that he must have been shot in his “Ackey-Breaky Heart”.

So you assume there is a "rest of the story".

That's very objective of you.
