Sheriff Johnson confirms the suspect had something held to the officer’s neck. That’s when shots were fired and the suspect was killed. @kfor

Chief Gourley says he is glad the corrections officer wasn’t seriously hurt.

Says names will not be released tonight.

Jail Administrator Greg Williams confirms he is hearing about the allegations that this is regarding conditions at the jail but says he cannot confirm the motive at this time.

Williams says only one pod is involved.

Williams says the officer walked out of the jail on his own and is doing fine. @kfor

Williams says this happened in a pod where the inmates are the “most difficult to manage.”

Williams confirms the jail is still on lockdown and will probably remain on lockdown for the remainder of the night.

Williams says they have called in extra staff to be at the jail tonight, is not sure what they will do in the days to come.

Sheriff Johnson confirms gas was deployed to get the inmates under control.

This is just a very unique situation. It’s going to be complicated and it’s going to take us a while but we will provide updates as we get them.” - @OKCPD Chief Wade Gourley.

Press conference is now over. @kfor
