Emergency responders rush to the Court House/Library Plaza

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Authorities have identified the man accused of being involved in a gunfire exchange outside a Tulsa courthouse that also wounded a bystander and a sheriff's deputy.

Tulsa police say 23-year-old Andrew Joseph Dennehy was being treated for his injuries Wednesday evening and his condition wasn't immediately available. People scattered from the busy plaza as shots rang out Wednesday in the middle of the work day. The scene was still being processed for evidence by Tulsa police as night fell.

A Tulsa police spokesman says the wounded deputy sustained gunshot wounds in both legs. The bystander was struck in the vicinity of a library that is also at the courthouse plaza.
