An Oklahoma City police officer fatally shot an armed man Wednesday, Nov. 11, after he allegedly opened fire on them in southeast Oklahoma City.
Officers responded to a disturbance call at a fast-food restaurant after a man told employees he had killed two people, according to an Oklahoma City Police Department bulletin. Police identified the man as Michael Kozak, 55, and located him in the 8900 block of SE 74th Street.
Kozak was armed and opened fire on responding officers, the department said. Officers attempted to negotiate his surrender, but Kozak continued pointing his firearm at police. Officers shot and killed him, according to the bulletin.
The bulletin does not say whether police found evidence to support Kozak's claim to restaurant employees that he had killed two people.
The involved officer has been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, the department said. The officer's name was not released.
Capt. Benjamin Weir, the department's public information officer for the case, can be reached by media at 405-297-1111.
