TULSA (AP) — Tulsa police have identified a man who was fatally shot after he pointed a BB gun that looked like a rifle during a standoff.

Officials on Tuesday said 31-year-old Juan Antonio Gonzalez was the man killed during the Saturday incident.

The officer who fired his weapon, Daniel Madewell, has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
