Comanche County Deputy William Perry was sent home from the hospital with a bullet lodged in his shoulder. Two people are dead and one injured following an early morning shooting in Cache.

The Cache Police Department responded to a possible homicide between 4 and 5 a.m. Sunday off Highway 115 and Oak Street.

“An individual had come in, shot his ex-wife and her boyfriend in the house,” said Comanche County Sheriff Kenny Stradley. “The boyfriend passed away. The wife is in an Oklahoma City Hospital in serious condition,” said Stradley.

A short time later, law enforcement approached the suspect’s home at Rock Creek and Quanah Road.

They suddenly found themselves being shot at by the suspect.



“I had three units shot up, had one deputy shot. He’s right now in fair condition,” Stradley said.

After shooting the deputy (Perry), the suspect ran into a house and set it on fire. Stradley said ammunition was in the house and began to go off because of the fire.

The suspect then ran from the house into a pickup truck, and Stradley said officials shot and killed the suspect.

“I went ahead and gave the green light to take him out, because there was no other way we could take him without somebody else getting hurt,” said Stradley.

The names of those involved in the incident have not been released at this time. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident.

Tuesday, Doctors will determine if they will operate and remove the bullet from Deputy Perry’s shoulder.
