Tulsa Police Officer Donnie Johnson, 32, and Tulsa County sheriff's deputies Brandon Walker, 41,and William Ramsey, 49, fired at Barre as he went into a convenience store in north Tulsa wielding two knives.
They were attempting to serve a court-ordered civil mental health pickup for Barre, 29, which records show the sheriff's office had attempted to do at least four times in more than a week.
Friday's shooting is the first deadly force encounter the Mental Health Unit has ever been involved in, Sheriff Vic Regalado said.
But before any shots were fired, Regalado said a deputy used a Taser. He says it didn't make "proper contact" with Barre and failed.
