How they died
Deadly force
Oklahoma Highway Patrol said a chase started after a Grand River Dam Authority Police officer ran the tag of a Hyundai Sonata and discovered it was stolen. The officer tried to stop the car and the driver fled. The chase went on for about five miles before the driver crashed near a pond. The female driver, Claudia Taylor, was arrested by a Mayes County deputy. Her passenger, Shirrel, ran into the woods. A dog team found the scent and Shirrel came out of the woods. He had a handgun when he stepped out of the woods and when he brandished it, officers from the three different agencies all opened fire, killing Shirrel.
