Officer involved in rollover during OKC funeral procession
ARCADIA (KFOR) - A police officer was in a rollover Saturday afternoon while attempting to lead a funeral procession in NE Oklahoma City.
The officer was taken to the hospital and Oklahoma City Police said he is expected to be okay.
The funeral procession was for 14-year-old Millwood Public Schools student Jordan Gulley who was tragically killed in a shooting Saturday night in a northeast Oklahoma City neighborhood.
According to OKCPD, the officer left the funeral and attempted to lead the procession near NE 36th and N Kelley Ave. Officials said the officer hopped into the opposite lane with his lights on.
Another driver who allegedly did not see the cop then drove into him which caused the officer to hit a pole and flip over.
News 4 sat down with Gulley's family after the shooting and they said they’re heartbroken, but leaning on each other is what they do best.
Gulley died after shots rang out near East Wilshire Boulevard and Northeast Katherine Place around 8 P.M. on November 16th.
Just days after the shooting, the community has started a memorial near the area where the incident happened. They left messages and tributes to Jordan.
