Names released of Tulsa police in fatal shooting

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - The Tulsa Police Department has released the names of two police officers involved in the shooting death of a man on a city street.

Police on Sunday said Officer Betty Shelby shot and killed 40-year-old Terrence Crutcher and Officer Tyler Turnbough fired a stun gun at Crutcher.

Shelby is on paid leave while Friday night's shooting is under investigation.

Police previously said the fatal shot came after the stun gun was fired.

Police have said Crutcher was shot when he refused orders to put up his hands and instead reached inside his SUV, which was stopped in the street.

Police have not said whether a weapon was found. Officials said that information, along with audio and video of the incident, will be released Monday.
