Security Officer shoots man

Tulsa Ok

Police are dealing with conflicting accounts of an apartment complex shooting Thursday night when a security guard allegedly shot a man in a vehicle, police said.

Tulsa Police responded to the Silver Springs Apartments in the 8500 block of East 63rd Street about 11:15 p.m. and found 25-year-old Christopher Smith shot in the left hip, police said.

The security guard, identified as 30-year-old Terrence Moses, told police he was on patrol and saw the car occupied by several people, police said.

He told police he approached the vehicle, had an argument with the occupants and then fired into the vehicle after the driver rammed his vehicle and put his life in danger, police reported.

The driver and occupants told police they didn't know Moses was a security guard and were startled when he approached the vehicle, police said.

Smith and another occupant told police Moses ordered them out of the car and pointed his gun at them, police report.

The occupants told police that was when Moses began firing and Smith backed the vehicle into Moses' vehicle, police said.

Smith was taken to St. Francis Hospital with non life-threatening injuries, and no one else was injured, police said.

Police said no one was arrested because of the conflicting stories and no independent witnesses.
