White man shoots black police chief 4 times without being arrested or charged
Wishita County, Oklahoma — A black police chief was shot four times by a white ‘survivalist’ and the shooting did not result in an arrest. Louis Ross, the Sentinel Oklahoma police chief was hit three times in the chest and once in the arm.
The shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Dallas Horton. After the incident, he was detained by police but later released without being charged with any crime.
Chief Ross arrived at Horton’s house Thursday morning after Wishita County 911 received two calls saying that there was a bomb inside a nearby head start school. The 911 caller identified himself as Horton. Ross went inside the school and found no evidence of a bomb. He then decided to go into Horton’s home but not before getting backup.
Breaking down the front door, Ross entered Horton’s house. According to reports, he cleared one room and entered a second bedroom when Horton opened fire. In a press release Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations said, “Facts surrounding the case lead agents to believe the man was unaware it was officers who made entry.”
However, according to statements made by Chief Ross to a local news outlet, that may not be the case.
“Don’t know what he heard or didn’t hear screaming from five officers of the law announcing our presence, requesting to see hands,” Ross said to News9.
