According to police, Carey called Williams into her office with the intent of taking him into custody when a fight broke out over a gun.

Carey was arrested at her home in Drumright around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The shooting was reported in the 100 block of West 7th Avenue at about 11:40 a.m. on Wednesday.
