Shots Fired At Tulsa County Courthouse

[Super Dave]

What a nutjob! Hope the injured heal up soon and well. Glad to hear they handled is well, and quickly! Hope the BG gets the help he needs, and then some serious time in the grey bar. He has to be mental, suicidal, or both. He will have plenty of time to reflect, I am certain!

As to the portliness of some of them, I remember going to the OK county courthouse a lot with my dad when I was a kid. Long before Whetsel. They wore tan or maybe khaki, and many were on the rounder side, but man I thought they were cool.

Round or not, good job!

What a scumbag - making honest gunowners look bad.

The wife did not hear anything about the deputy, so I have no further information regarding him.

As for the shooter the wife and I think and agree with one of the above posts about the suicide by cop. This is just our own opinionwith nothing to back it up.

I talked to my friend who is a deputy this morning. she is okay just a little shaken up. She wants to start carrying a gun now. She's one of the deputies that doesnt have a gun. For whatever reason.

Agreed ..... "Suicide by Cop" sounds like what his goal was ......

I was up there in January. Im guessing more than half of the TCSO I saw only had cuffs and a flashlight. The 3 working the Xray and metal detector were not armed.

And I heard on the radio that the Tulsa County Sheriff thinks that open carry should be on a county by county basis. Sounds like the Sheriff is an anti-gun person in many ways.

Unarmed and underarmed deputies guarding the courthouse. What could go wrong?

Officer.com via Tulsa World:

Injured deputy is David Fortenberry, with the SO since 2006. Deputies who fired were Stephen Cully and Dennis Miller.

Clark said Fortenberry was shot in the hands and that as of Thursday had "made it through surgery fine, and he's looking good."

Glad to hear the deputy is doing well.

Sounds like the civilian that was shot in the leg may have been friendly fire from the TCSO, unfortunately.
