Tulsa Police have identified a man shot by an officer outside a QuikTrip Tuesday evening.

Police say an officer shot Nathan Boyd, 46, while Boyd sat in a pickup at the QuikTrip at 12910 East 21st Street at about 8 p.m.

Officers originally reported the man parked at the QuikTrip, got out of his pickup holding two handguns, walked toward officers and was shot in the neck.

However, as the investigation continued, Sergeant Dave Walker said the man first showed his gun by placing it on the dashboard, then was shot when he held up a gun while in his truck.

Walker said while officers could see two guns, the man was holding one and didn't get out of the truck until after he was shot.

Officers located Boyd's pickup and pulled it over at the QuikTrip.

EMSA took Boyd to a Tulsa hospital with a wound to his neck.

Police identified the officer as 51-year-old Gregory Douglass, a 19-year veteran of the department.
