Police: Person crashes car after being shot in SE OKC

OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – Oklahoma City Police are investigating after someone crashed their car onto a metro high school’s practice field Tuesday morning .

J.J. Johnson was fast asleep around 3 a.m. when he suddenly woke up to chaos outside his window.

“I heard this loud engine of a car rolling by and I looked out the window and saw the car going airborne into a fence,” said Johnson.

The car crashed into a fence surrounding a practice field at Southeast High School, near SW 53rd and Sante Fe.

Johnson’s wife immediately called the police.

“[The victim] was actually critically wounded,” said MSgt. Gary Knight with OKCPD. “He had been shot.”

According to OKCPD, earlier in the night the driver picked up a woman he hadn’t met before.

“At some point while she’s in the car, she pulls out a pistol, demands money. When he refuses, she simply shoots him, gets out of the car and flees,” said Knight.

The man crashed into the fence while driving himself to the hospital. He was then rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Police said he’s expected to live.

As for the shooter, police told KFOR she’s still on the run.

“Our main concern was if this person is injured,” said Johnson. “Fences and cars can be replaced. People can’t.”
