TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa police say they shot a gunman who entered a broadcaster’s office and demanded to speak to a radio personality.

Officer Jason Willingham says an apparently angry Barry Styles walked into the Renda Broadcasting office building with a gun Wednesday lunchtime and asked to speak to a personality. A secretary left the room to call the police.

Renda official Kelly Fiddner said Styles asked to speak to KBEZ’s Carly Rush.

Willingham says 58-year-old Styles brandished the gun when police officers found him in a hallway. One shot at Styles three times, hitting him once in the hip.

Wagoner County Sheriff Bob Colbert says Styles has charges of possession of a sawed-off shotgun and reckless conduct with a firearm pending against him.
