Authorities said Smith got out of the vehicle and reportedly pulled out a knife. The officers said they made numerous demands for Smith to drop the knife. The Kingfisher County sheriff's deputy fired his weapon when Smith reportedly made a “threatening gesture toward the officers,” a press release stated. Smith was hit twice in the chest, according to authorities. Smith was taken to OU Medical where he was recovering Saturday.

OSBI said it will present the district attorney with a written report once the investigation is complete.
