TULSA, Okla. A man is in custody after two police officers were shot during a traffic stop in east Tulsa early Monday morning. Tulsa police say a man shot two of their officers during the stop around 3:30 a.m. near 21st and Memorial.

Zarkeshan told Ware to get out of the car because it was going to be towed, but police say Ware refused.
Police say Johnson tried to use his taser before Ware grabbed it and Johnson pepper-sprayed him while trying to get him out of the car.
Ware then reached under his seat for a gun and fired three times at the two officers, according to the affidavit.
Johnson was shot in his head and body.
Zarkeshan was shot in his head, upper body, and lower body.

Both officers were taken to the hospital where they are in critical condition.
