News On 6 requested copies of 911 calls placed during Wednesday's shooting at the Tulsa County Courthouse.

The first call received by News On 6 was from a prosecutor inside the Tulsa County District Attorney's office.

When she first called, her phone said "circuits all busy."

So she hung up, called back and it said the same thing.

After the second try, a 911 dispatcher called her back.

She franticly told the dispatcher: "There's a man with a gun in front of our place. He's shooting, like he has a gun. He's shooting at deputies. Oh, my gosh. He just shot at a deputy. Please send somebody here. Please."

This call happened just as 23-year-old Andrew Dennehy opened fire in the courthouse plaza, firing into the air, then at deputies.

Deputies then shot Dennehy. He is still in the hospital in stable condition.
