TAHLEQUAH, Oklahoma - Police say a fatal police shooting in Tahlequah happened just 60 seconds after officers got to the scene.

Tahlequah Police Chief Nate King said officers shot Dominic Rollice six times when he refused to put down a hammer in his ex-wife's garage.

Two officers fired shots 52 seconds after they started talking to Rollice.

Lieutenant Brandon Vick, Officer Josh Girdner and Officer Chase Reed went to the Tahlequah home after getting a call from Rollice's ex-wife, Joy.

Dispatch: “Tahlequah police department.”

Caller: “Hey, can I get somebody to come over to my house? My ex-husband is in the garage. He will not leave. He's drunk and it's gonna get ugly real quick."

King said officers tried to pat down Rollice, but he refused and walked to a workbench in the garage.

"Mr. Rollice reached for a hammer and all three officers heard him say, 'One of us is going to die tonight,’" King said.
