Former Spokesman to Testify Before Grand Jury

Linked In

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A former spokesman for an Oklahoma sheriff's office says he was wrongfully fired following the fatal shooting of an unarmed man by a volunteer deputy.

Shannon Clark, formerly a major with Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, says he is "looking forward" to testifying before a grand jury investigating allegations of wrongdoing in the agency.

Reserve deputy Robert Bates is accused of killing Eric Harris on April 2. Bates has since resigned from the agency.
