MOORE, Okla. (AP) - A Moore police officer was wounded when another officer accidentally shot him as they were about to enter a home where a man had barricaded himself inside.
Officials say a round by a tactical team member's rifle went through Sgt. Michael Leonard's leg on Tuesday. Leonard was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. He is expected to recover.
The tactical team surrounded the residence about 3:30 p.m. after the man, who was thought to be suicidal, barricaded himself inside. Once officers made it into the house about 6 p.m., they found the man had shot himself.
The man was taken to a hospital for treatment. His name wasn't released.
