OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – The suspect in an officer-involved shooting Sunday afternoon has been identified.

According to Oklahoma City Police, officers responded to a domestic situation in the 3000 block of NW 61st St. around 4:20 p.m. on May 5 after a woman shot a man. Upon arrival, police found the male victim outside the home and took him to a secure area for medical attention.


Officers then asked the suspect, who was 61-year-old Lisa Daniels, to come outside. She told police she had a gun, and officers positioned themselves to guard the outside of the home.

According to police, Daniels left the house with a sweater over her hand and made movements as if she had a gun in her hand. She began walking toward the officers with her hand raised, prompting one officer to fire his weapon.

Daniels was not hit and officers determined she did not have a weapon in her hand. They managed to insult her and take her into custody.

Daniels was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on charges of domestic violence and assault with a dangerous weapon.

The gunshot victim was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive. No other injuries were reported.

The officer involved has been placed on regular administrative leave while the investigation continues.
