| Justin Terney |
Officer Terney was a member of the Tecumseh Police Department. He had one year of service.
Tecumseh is a city in Pottawatomie County, with a population of about 6,500.
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on March 26, 2017, Justin conducted a traffic stop near an intersection in Shawnee. The driver was a woman. The passenger fled the scene on foot. Justin pursued the man and deployed his taser but it seemingly had no effect on the suspect. The man drew a firearm and shot Justin several times. Justin was able to return fire and the man was also struck several times.
Justin was rushed to a hospital in Oklahoma City where, tragically, he succumbed to his injuries on March 27th.
Byron James Shepard, age 35, has been taken into custody and was hospitalized. It has been reported that he was running from outstanding warrants.
