Video After The Jump

The Muskogee, Oklahoma Police Department has placed an officer on paid administrative leave following a shooting that left a suspect dead.

Officer Chansey McMillin pulled into a church parking lot to confront 21-year-old Terence D. Walker after getting a domestic abuse call. McMillan, a Texas native, had traveled to Oklahoma to retrieve items from his ex-girlfriend's home. He allegedly threatened her by saying he "had a bullet with her name it."

McMillan confronts Walker in the Old Agency Baptist Church parking lot. He starts to pat the suspect down. At that point Walker starts running, exiting the parking lot and heading down a street.

Walker stops to pick up something before continuing to run. McMillan then fires five shots, hitting Walker three times, killing him.

The entire incident is caught on just released footage from McMillan's body camera. The church's pastor appears and begs the officer to stop shooting so he can check on Walker. The officer tells him he won't shoot anymore and commands him to move back.

A loaded gun was retrieved from Walker's body.

The pastor later says that McMillin “followed procedures” and that “he did everything right.” It's the second shooting McMillan has been involved in within the last six months.
