A 40-year-old man was shot and killed by Blaine County deputies Sunday evening after pulling a gun during an attempted arrest, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said.
Deputies were responding to a domestic dispute near West State and North Second streets just after 6 p.m. when they spoke with Robby Warren Black Jr., investigators said.
“Deputies got a call about a possible domestic dispute that was going on in the town of Greenfield," OSBI spokesperson Hunter McKee said.
Deputies learned Black had physically assaulted a child, OSBI said.
“When they attempted to arrest him, he pulled out a firearm; an officer-involved shooting occurred. Deputies shooting the suspect,” McKee said.

Black was treated at the scene and taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Investigators said no one else was injured.
“So, our investigators, our crime scene unit, was there on scene, talking with witnesses, talking with the deputies there who fired shots, and so, all of that will still be ongoing for us," McKee said.
It is unclear how many deputies fired their weapons or whether any of them were placed on leave.
Attempts to reach the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office for comment were unsuccessful.
