Police in Oklahoma Search for Suspect After 2 Officers Shot

iStock/Thinkstock(WELLSTON, Okla.) — Two police officers were shot in Wellston, Oklahoma, Sunday night, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

The officers suffered non-life threatening injuries when they were shot with an AK-47 after responding to a report of a shooting in the rural area around 6:30 p.m., officials said.

The Lincoln County Sheriff said the suspects fled the scene in one of the police vehicles and drove to a local mobile home park. They then shot at and carjacked a woman who later refused medical treatment, according to officials.

One suspect is in custody, but another suspect named Michael Vance is still at large and expected to be in a white Lincoln Town Car with a blue top, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff.

Vance was recently in jail for an alleged child sexual assault, the sheriff said, and is believed to have an AK-47.

Police are said to be talking to family and friends of Vance to find out locations he would frequent.
