OKLAHOMA CITY – Off-duty police officers with the OU Health Sciences Center shot and killed a suspect in an overnight shooting at a southwest Oklahoma City nightclub.
Oklahoma City Police said an argument started around 2:00 a.m. Thursday inside Club Rodeo. As security officers were trying to clear the club and the parking lot, a man in the crowd pulled out a gun and started shooting at officers.
Off-duty OUPD officers were working with regular security at the club. They returned fire, hitting three people.
Officers shot and killed 24-year-old suspect Lance Dawkins. Johnny Mixon, 23, was also hit and taken to Presbyterian Hospital. He's listed in critical condition. A third man, 24-year-old Bryan Bonner, received minor injuries, and was treated and released from a local hospital.
