* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — On August 22, 2022, at approximately 1:18 p.m., Oklahoma City Police responded to the address of 2221 SW 78th St. on reports of multiple gunshots in the area. It was learned quickly that deputies with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office had exchanged gunfire with a person at this residence while serving an eviction notice. Two of the deputies were struck by the gunfire.
As responding officers arrived on scene, they learned the suspect, 35-year-old Benjamin Plank had fled the residence in a vehicle trailering a boat. It was also learned the suspect had loaded several firearms into his vehicle prior to leaving. Benjamin Plank was spotted a short distance from the scene, shortly after the shooting occurred. Oklahoma City Police attempted to stop him on traffic when he refused, initiating a pursuit.
During the pursuit, while travelling northbound on S. I-35, the driver discharged rounds from a rifle at Oklahoma City Officers. Two involved officers were able to return fire toward the suspect. No injuries occurred from the gunfire. The suspect continued eastbound on Interstate-40 from Interstate-35 ultimately exiting at Air Depot Blvd. The suspect stopped at the Tinker Air Force Base gate and surrendered. Benjamin Plank was taken to an area hospital to be checked for injuries and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a multitude of charges including first-degree murder.
Both officers have been placed on routine paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation. Benjamin Plank is accused of fatally shooting Sgt. Bobby Swartz and wounding Deputy Mark Johns. Johns has since been released from the hospital. Court documents show that Plank also shot at but missed a third deputy.

Dear PoliceActivity, Thank you for including the police report. 👍😀
The cops just shooting is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Through his windshield? To hell with public safety I guess.
Someone tell me if I am wrong, but I feel like the cop firing while driving was a bad idea.
Ok….. from the start, you aint losing the cops while towing a boat with your city-driver tonka toy.
Much more glaring than that, was why you'd think rolling up on a Mil compound is a good idea. You're 100% more likely to be killed for your idiocy by MPs and Gate Guards than the cops lmfao
Ah Oklahoma
Sing him three verses of "Prison bound
Leave it to the CHAIR FORCE to stand by and watch!!
Thats the "Law Enforcement Loving" Republicans….
Firing from the front windshield while the car is moving is a stupid idea. The officer watched too many Die Hard movies.
The MPs are like "hell yea, action"!
That cop who tried the pit manoeuvre on the trailer has obviously never played GTA 5
He ran up to the gate yelling help? He's lucky they didn't help him into an early grave. What a delusional psychopath.
Damn BAYLINER dorks. That is the first clue…..
Prisão eletrizante😂
el policia disparandole creeo que a las llantas pero no marchen del otro lado hay automovilistas hay personas inocentes donde queda la preparacion de los policias
Amateur hour . They looked terrible
Chair Force personnel look completely unprepared to deal with a man with a rifle. That’s not good. Maybe someone in Congress should ask a question or two.
America, your absence of gun controls is absurd. You let everyone have semi-automatic weapons, often allowing them to drive with them in their cars….and then your police have to cope with the likelihood that every single crook is armed to the teeth, so they behave accordingly. Grow up America. They are not toys no matter how much you enjoy a bit of militia cos-play.
Turn you flipping siren off when you are YELLING instructions!
Taser says you CAN put your hands behind your back🤣
