Tulsa, OK. – A Tulsa police officer shot and killed a reportedly suicidal man who held a knife to a hostage’s throat outside a midtown convenience store on Thursday. Police were called to the QuikTrip at 3100 South Sheridan Avenue, after they received reports of a man cutting himself in the store.

As officers engaged the man inside the store he left as officers followed him “trying to de-escalate” the situation according to Tulsa Police Lt. Richard Meulenberg.

Police then shot the suspect who was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The Tulsa World reports that the hostage was not harmed.
