In a post on Facebook, police said the officer started life-saving measures before emergency crews took the victim to the hospital in serious condition.
BAPD said the officer got minor injuries and is on administrative leave pending an investigation into the shooting. The US attorney cleared the officer on August 20th.
Major Stephen Garrett told 2 News Oklahoma that police are unsure why the officer stopped the driver in the first place, but are working to put the pieces together.
“We’re currently doing a full, thorough investigation here," he said. "The next step is for our criminal investigation division to continue their investigation to find out exactly what happened, why it happened, and get all of those details," he said.
The findings are now being turned over to the Tulsa County DA. Demille is still hospitalized.
