AP reveals details of shooting by Oklahoma police that wounded 3 children
for dogged reporting on the physical and emotional struggles of three children wounded when police officers opened fire on their motherâs pickup truck. Authorities had largely avoided releasing information for nearly a month after the incident, but using Oklahoma open records law, and interviews with police, lawyers and the childrenâs mother, the team was first to reveal details of the investigation into the shooting, and the long recovery ahead for the children. https://bit.ly/2Wmwvyx
