Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) officers were involved in a shooting on April 12.

Officials reported that on Friday around 10 P.M., officers responded to the 200 block of SE 54th St. to reports of a man outside shooting a gun.

When officers arrived on the scene, the man was found to be inside of a residence, and officers called him outside.

The suspect, identified as 53-year-old Juan Castorenna-Guerrero, exited the residence with a gun in his hand. Officers gave Castorenna-Guerrero verbal commands to drop the gun, but he did not.

Officers then deployed a '40mm less lethal round toward him,' to which he raised his gun at pointed it at officers.

Six officers reportedly fired their guns toward the suspect, and he retreated inside the residence.

After several minutes, Castorenna-Guerrero reportedly came out of the residence and surrendered.

He was not struck by officers' gunfire and was arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on four counts of pointing a firearm.

OKCPD reported that the six officers involved have been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

No other injuries were reported.
