Man dies after being shocked by Osage Nation police officer

TULSA — Authorities say a Tulsa man has died after an Osage Nation police officer used a stun gun on him during an altercation with several officers outside a casino.

The Tulsa World reported Monday that 41-year-old Terry Price was at the Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino on Friday night despite being banned.

The Osage County undersheriff said a deputy arrived after the Osage Nation requested assistance. The deputy chased after Price when he took off in his vehicle, but canceled the pursuit.

Authorities say Price returned to the casino and then ran away, with law enforcement officials chasing him on foot. A tribal officer used a stun gun on Price after he began to fight several officers.

Price was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
