Perhaps you have seen the startling photographs of Andrew Dennehy in a shoot-out with Tulsa County Sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday afternoon, in front of the Tulsa County Courthouse. Those pictures were taken by a quick thinking library employee. The ordeal unfolded about 2:40 in the afternoon. Working across the Oxley Plaza on the third floor of the Central Library was media relations staff member John Fancher. Fancher tells KWGS, he heard a pop and looked out his window to see Dennehy shooting into the air. That is when he grabbed his camera and started snapping photographs. He says he really didn’t worry about his safety because it all happened so fast. He felt, as a library employee, it was his duty to help document what was unfolding.
