An investigation is underway into a Tulsa County Sheriffâ€™s deputy involved shooting near Sapulpa. It happened during an interview at 6600 80th West Avenue in Creek County.

Two veteran Tulsa County Sheriffâ€™s deputies went to a home around 3 PM Tuesday to ask questions. The home is in Creek County's jurisdiction, but the two deputies were there as part of an FBI gang task force.

Investigators say during the questioning, a man pulled a knife. One of the deputies fired a shot killing the man.

Tulsa County Undersheriff Brian Edwards: "this was a very dynamic and fast happening situation; it was just over with in a matter of seconds."

No one's commenting on the crime the deputies were investigating. Investigators say they do not believe the man shot was a suspect.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the Creek County Sheriffâ€™s Office are investigating.
