Authorities are investigating after a sheriff's deputy fatally shot a man in eastern Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says the shooting happened Wednesday night in Watts.

The OSBI says an Adair County deputy fatally shot the man after the man reportedly raised a metal pipe "in an aggressive manner." The man, who was identified as 40-year-old Stoney McJunkin, was pronounced dead at the scene.
