Officers told News On 6 at the scene that a man, later identified by TPD as Dane Swets, was found shot and killed in the street. According to TPD, the person who was shot had a baseball bat and charged at another man, Charles Berry, in the neighborhood. Berry pulled out a gun, shot, and killed Swets in what police describe as self-defense.

"Due to the complexity of this case, all the evidentiary details and investigative findings will be submitted to the Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office. The DA’s Office will thoroughly review the details and determine if charges are warranted," TPD said.

TPD responded to the scene with Tulsa Fire and EMSA. The person who fired shots is cooperative with authorities. They are not under arrest at this time. TPD turned over the investigation details to the district attorney who will determine if further charges will be filed, if any.
