Tulsa Police recently shot and killed an armed assailant recently following a chase across the city. When the suspect finally jumped from his vehicle and fled on foot, a Tulsa officer made a remarkable 60-yard pistol shot on a running target to stop the threat.

The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Eric Portillo, allegedly fired at police during the pursuit. Police said Portillo pistol-whipped and shot a victim at a convenience store earlier, prompting the police chase, according to tulsaworld.com.

“I saw the gun in his hand,” Montgomery says in the video. “If someone can get to the intersection and let us know the crime we’re dealing with, if we have a SWIK [shooting with intent to kill], a homicide or just shots fired?,” reported tulsaworld.com.

Tulsa Officer Responds

Officer body cam footage shows the police chase and eventual shooting. It began when officers first confronted Portillo, who refused orders to get out of his vehicle. Instead, the suspect, with an unidentified woman driving, sped away from officers. The woman reportedly bailed out of the car mid-pursuit, leaving Portillo to take over the wheel and continue to flee, according to tulsaworld.com.
