GROVE, Okla. (AP) -- A man barricaded in a garage in the Grand Lake area shot two law enforcement officers and then was shot himself, police said. The three men's wounds were not life-threatening.
Delaware County Sheriff's Deputy Denny Martin and Grove police officer Dave McCracken went to a home at 3:40 p.m. Tuesday where Coby Livesay, 30, was in his parents' garage. Livesay had a shotgun and refused to leave.
He fired shots at the officers as they approached and the officers returned fire, said Oklahoma State bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown.
McCracken, a 15-year veteran of the Grove Police Department, was taken by helicopter to Saint John's Hospital in Joplin, Mo. He received pellet wounds to the chest and abdomen. McCracken underwent surgery and was stabilized.
Martin reported to the Grove General Hospital, where he was treated for pellet wounds to the right arm, Assistant Police Chief Mark Morris said.
Livesay was shot in the arm and hand and also was taken to the Grove hospital, Brown said. Livesay will be arrested on a complaint of shooting with intent to kill, OSBI Special Agent Steve Nutter said.
