Muskogee police on Friday released video of a fatal police shooting captured by an officer's body camera.
Officer Chansey McMillin shot and killed 21-year-old Terence D. Walker on Jan. 17 after Walker allegedly ran from police who confronted him outside the Old Agency Baptist Church.
The incident was captured on video — McMillin is one of the 50-60 MPD officers wearing body cameras — and it provided the city with its first open records test since officers began wearing the cameras.

In the video, a responding officer retrieves an item from Walker's crumpled body and tosses it to the side, motioning for McMillin to pick it up. McMillin later states that it's a handgun, and another officer notes that it's loaded.

Six minutes into a video, the nearby church's pastor who had tried to attend to Walker's body immediately after the shooting, tells officers that McMillin "followed procedures ... he did everything right."

Walker, Sgt. Mike Mahan said, had threatened his ex-girlfriend repeatedly throughout the day, telling her that he "had a bullet with his name on it." The woman was inside the church when Walker arrived, and police arrived shortly thereafter.

"When officers got there, they asked to talk to (Walker,)" Mahan said. "A (female) witness said that he had tried to hand her a gun, but she wouldn't take it. When officers began to pat (Walker) down, they felt the gun, and he started to run away."
