The Tulsa Police Department released the following statement regarding the shooting death of 40-year-old Terrence Crutcher by Tulsa Police:

The Tulsa Police Department is in the process of collecting all audio and video recordings related to the officer involved shooting, which occurred on September 16, 2016. This is an ongoing process as the audio and video files are from multiple sources. Personnel resources will be working over the weekend to have these files available and unedited at the scheduled press conference on Monday, September 19, at 1:30 P.M. If this process is completed sooner, a press conference will be called to facilitate an earlier release. Chief Jordan has contacted the Department of Justice via the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Oklahoma and will be working in conjunction with them throughout the investigation.
