(CNN)A Tulsa, Oklahoma, police officer has died and another is in critical condition after they were shot during a traffic stop early Monday, police said. A suspect has been arrested.
Sgt. Craig Johnson died Tuesday, Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin said at a news conference.
David Ware, 32, was arrested Monday in the shooting and faces a first-degree murder charge and two other felony charges, shooting with intent to kill and possession of a firearm after former conviction of a felony, according to an online court record from the Oklahoma State Courts Network.
A man accused of being an accomplice to Ware was also arrested Monday and faces charges of accessory to murder and accessory to a felony, to the online court site. The officers stopped Ware around 3:30 a.m. Monday, police said on Twitter.
During the stop, there was a scuffle, and Ware allegedly pulled a gun on the officers, firing multiple times, police said.
Ware fled on foot, and police found him later Monday morning at a house, where he surrendered after officers surrounded the home, Tulsa police said in a tweet. CNN has reached out to an attorney for Ware, but hasn't yet received a response.
Johnson was shot multiple times, including in the head, police said. His condition didn't improve after surgery. Officer Aurash Zarkeshan, who was also shot in the head, is still in critical condition but has been responsive to hospital staff, Tulsa Police Department spokesman Jeanne Pierce told CNN.
Johnson joined the department in 2005, Franklin said, and his death is "a tremendous loss to our department." "Sergeant Johnson was a good man who made our lives better, who trained his fellow officers to be better," Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said. "Our city mourns."

The shooter is a dead soul impelled by the very evil that will rule during the Tribulation. America is beginning to witness what it is due for throwing God out of out homes, our schools, and our society. Murdering a million almost born living humans a year has signed our fate.
Thank you.
I wish that was an observation I wasn’t forced to make.
sigh
I wish I could disagree. But I can’t.
The hour is late and the day is far spent.
Yes...we are under God’s judgement.
We’ve seen this movie before. It’s what happens when the anti-police rallies go mainstream.
Again.
Effin Marxist are behind BLM and pantifa.
We demand quick justice in the killing of police officers
Ware looks like a typical Antifa or BLM loser.
Amen to that.
Here in VA, the actions of Governor Northam and the Democrat State House was a bell ringer to me. Although I and my family voted, I noticed that many conservatives and Republicans sat it out for some reason. The Democrats took everything and began implementing their whole roster of hard core leftist programs.
They a got a ton of push-back until COVID-19 hit, now no one knows what the heck they are doing down in Richmond.
A guy like that could fall head first into the hi~way asphalt paving machine or industrial wood chipper and I wouldnt even notice or give a sh!t if you pointed it out to me.
