Witnesses who saw an Oklahoma City cop shoot and kill a deaf man holding a metal pipe Tuesday night said they repeatedly shouted at the officers before the fatal shot was fired that the man couldn’t hear the cops' commands. Mathews said the officers didn’t hear the neighbors yelling before Barnes fired his gun and he didn’t know what they were thinking in that instance. Both officers demanded the deaf man put the pipe down until Lindsey deployed his taser and Barnes fired his gun, Mathews said. Guebara said she heard five or six gunshots, though it’s unclear how many times Barnes fired his gun. Much like in the Sanchez killing, another officer almost simultaneously fired a Taser at Crutcher when Shelby fired her gun.
