Last week, a confrontation in Oklahoma City ended in violence when a 77-year-old woman was fatally shot by police after she allegedly fired at an officer and ran over an acquaintance. According to News9, the incident occurred near Northwest 122nd Street and MacArthur Boulevard. The Oklahoma City Police Department identified the woman as Annette Prince. Reports indicate that before the fatal police shooting, Prince shot the driver of the vehicle she was in, who then jumped out and was subsequently run over.
Authorities said the sequence of events began when Prince, as a passenger, shot the vehicle's driver twice, for reasons still unknown. The injured driver managed to exit the vehicle but was then run over as Prince allegedly took control of the car. These details were corroborated by information from The Oklahoman, noting the episode commenced in the 5200 block of NW 123rd Street.
After the assault on the driver, responding officers encountered Prince still armed with a pistol. "Prince did not drop her weapon and fired several shots into the ground. After she refused to drop the firearm, she pointed the weapon at officers," the KOCO reported. It was at this juncture that the police fatally shot Prince. Seven officers involved in the fatal shooting have been placed on paid administrative leave as per standard procedure. The condition of the driver, who has not been identified, remains unknown. They were taken to a hospital following the incident.
