Oklahoma City police say a man has died at a hospital after officers used a stun gun on him during an arrest.
Police Master Sgt. Gary Knight says officers responded Sunday night to a report of a man breaking and smashing things inside an apartment.
Knight says the man's roommates were able to get him out of the residence, but that he kicked in the door and continued being aggressive. When officers arrived, Knight says the man became involved in an altercation with them.
Knight says officers used a Taser to shock the man, who then suffered an unspecified medical event and stopped breathing. Medical personnel tried to resuscitate the man, but were unsuccessful.
Police didn't release the man's identity or age.
