The man who shot a Field Training Officer with the Tulsa Police Department back in August of 2023 has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

The Tulsa County District Attorney's Office said Edward Pulley, 34, entered a blind plea on multiple charges including assault with a deadly weapon, resisting an officer and falsely impersonating another to create liability.

Tulsa Police said the FTO who was shot was on their first day of patrol.

In December, Tulsa Police released body camera video showing what led to the shooting.

“Edward Pulley’s actions turned a simple traffic stop into a dangerous, potentially deadly, situation,” said Tulsa County Assistant District Attorney John Tjeerdsma. “This incident shows how law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to keep our community safe. We commend these officers for their willingness to do so. We also thank the judge in this case for holding Pulley accountable for his crimes.”

What Led to the Shooting in Tulsa That Injured An Officer?

The Tulsa Police Department said it began around 8:15 a.m. near 6700 S. Victor, where a black BMW was stopped for not having a license plate.

The suspect did not have a driver's license either and police say he gave the officer a fake name.

As the suspect was being detained, they got into a struggle and TPD says the suspect reached for a pistol in his waistband. A shot was fired and both the officer and suspect were hit.

"He did have a pistol in his waistband, that pistol, either he took it out or it went off, the officer was shot in the foot and then the other officer returned fire,” said Captain Richard Meulenberg with Tulsa Police.

Police say the other officer fired a round at the suspect due to the incident. It's unclear if the suspect was hit with this shot.

Who is the Tulsa Police officer who was injured?

The Tulsa Police Department has not identified the injured Field Training Officer, the Officer in Training, or the suspect whose pistol went off at this time.
