Police shoot gunman at Tulsa radio station
(AP) — Tulsa police say they shot a gunman who entered a broadcaster's office and demanded to speak to a radio personality.
Officer Jason Willingham says an apparently angry Barry Styles walked into the Renda Broadcasting office building with a gun Wednesday lunchtime and asked to speak to a personality. A secretary left the room to call the police.
Renda official Kelly Fiddner said Styles asked to speak to KBEZ's Carly Rush.
Willingham says 58-year-old Styles brandished the gun when police officers found him in a hallway. One officer shot at Styles three times, hitting him once in the hip.
Wagoner County Sheriff Bob Colbert says Styles has charges of possession of a sawed-off shotgun and reckless conduct with a firearm pending against him.
According to its Web site, Pittsburgh-based Renda Broadcasting is the 10th largest privately-held radio broadcasting company in the U.S. and operates 25 radio stations in eight markets.
