The Oklahoma City Police Department is revealing new details about the injuries three officers sustained when they tried to take a double-murder suspect into custody.
Police arrested 24-year-old Keenan Lamar Leake Monday, May 6. Leake was wanted for a triple shooting in December 2012 at Club Pulse. Two men were killed and another injured.
Police tracked Leak to a southeast Oklahoma City motel room. The officers identified themselves and that's when police say Leake opened fire, using a stolen semi-automatic pistol.
