Oklahoma police officer dies after traffic-stop shooting

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A 22-year-old officer and new recruit died Monday morning after a shootout with a man who fled a traffic stop in central Oklahoma, police said.

Officer Justin Terney was shot several times late Sunday and died after undergoing surgery overnight, Tecumseh Assistant Police Chief J.R. Kidney said.

A woman was driving, and Terney called dispatchers to see if a male passenger had any outstanding warrants.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said it will assist with crime scene investigation, which is common for police shootings.
