Muskogee Police Release Video, Still Images Of Officer Shooting, Killing Suspect
KOTV Channel 6 Tulsa ^ | 1-23-2015 | Richard Clark

MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma - Editor's note: The Muskogee Police Department released more than 10 minutes of video of the incident. News On 6 has chosen not to air or post the portion of the video showing the man being killed, out of respect for his family.

The Muskogee Police Department released video recorded by an officer's camera showing him shooting and killing a man he was trying to arrest.

The shooting happened on Saturday, January 17, 2015. Officer Chansey McMillin shot and killed 21-year-old Terrence Walker. Police had been called to a wedding at a church to investigate a report of a man threatening to kill one of the wedding party guests.

On Friday, January 23, 2015, the department also released a statement in which it presents a list of what it calls considerations about the video. They include noting that the officer was answering a call about an armed man who had threatened to shoot a person at a wedding party, and that the suspect failed to comply with basic commands by the officer to place his hands behind his back and used an elbow to strike the officer. The department also released the 911 calls made in reference to the incident.

"It is our belief that the video clearly shows the suspect pointing the gun at the officer," the statement reads.WARNING, Graphic: See Still Photos Of Shooting In PowerPoint Presentation From Muskogee Police

The officer, Chansey McMillin, is on routine leave while the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the Muskogee County District Attorney's office investigate the shooting.

The Muskogee Police Department said it will not comment on the investigation into the shooting.

Here is the statement released by the Muskogee Police Department:

This is a list of points we would like to stress in reference to the officer involved shooting that we believe are reflected in the video that will be released today. Please understand that this is an ongoing investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and has yet to be reviewed by the Muskogee County District Attorney's Office.

The Muskogee Police Department is only responding to questions concerning the video and by no means can answer any questions in reference to the ongoing investigation.

In the spirit of transparency and openness we are releasing the video in what we believe is a timely manner. We would request that out of respect for the deceased and his family that the scene showing the actual shooting not be aired publicly. This is only a request and we respect the right of the media to show anything requested under the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

This is all over the local news today. A stupid young man shows up at a church where there's a wedding taking place and threatens "one of the wedding party", possibly the bride. Someone does the right thing and calls the cops and next thing you know the stupid young man stupidly gets himself killed.

Very interesting powerpoint released by Muskogee PD, with transcript of cops. Officer is a veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Video is also available from other local media for example KTUL-8.

Comments on KOTV site are... not surprising.

Except for the 10-15 defensive statements in the article. And a PowerPoint. And other stuff.

This info was also posted on FR earlier with a link to the Tulsa World article that had the full, unedited, unblurred video. I’d recommend that everybody go there to see it before they get pressured to edit the video.

Pants down, pickup my gun, twice.

That guy probably saved for months from selling food stamp meat to buy that gun.

That’s a good presentation.

Among other things, the suspect must have been one clumsy s.o.b.

That a very nice presentation the Muskogee PD put together.

Seems they learned quite a bit from the Saint Swisher Sweets episode.

Al Sharpton is deeply saddened.

1) It’s a sad state of affairs when a police department feels it is necessary for them to release this sort of documentation to ‘justify’ their actions.

2) The officer was wearing the same sort of body cameras that Obama wants to fund for all police departments.

3) It is a testament to modern firearms design that the suspect dropped a loaded gun with the hammer cocked, not once but twice, and the gun didn’t go off.

I agree. So, why muddy the investigation with pictures (some clear, some not), video, a PowerPoint with irrelevant data (ex: military service) and an inaccurate transcript?

…snip… 1:30 Ok. What are you shaking for?

What he said was, “Why you shakin for?”

Thanks for the link.

Terrence took his gun and went to that wedding to start trouble. My guess: Gun is illegal, Terrence has a criminal record, had the officer not showed up someone's wedding would have been ruined in a different way. A newlywed husband and probably bride would be dead.

This is an excellent presentation—thanks for posting the link; the Muskogee Police department deserves commendation for RAPIDLY putting this together. It’s good that the cop had a body cam or Al Sharpton would be all over this.
