(CNN)A Tulsa, Oklahoma, police officer has died and another is in critical condition after they were shot during a traffic stop early Monday, police said. A suspect has been arrested.
Sgt. Craig Johnson died Tuesday, Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin said at a news conference.
David Ware, 32, was arrested Monday in the shooting and faces a first-degree murder charge and two other felony charges, shooting with intent to kill and possession of a firearm after former conviction of a felony, according to an online court record from the Oklahoma State Courts Network.
A man accused of being an accomplice to Ware was also arrested Monday and faces charges of accessory to murder and accessory to a felony, to the online court site. The officers stopped Ware around 3:30 a.m. Monday, police said on Twitter.
During the stop, there was a scuffle, and Ware allegedly pulled a gun on the officers, firing multiple times, police said.
Ware fled on foot, and police found him later Monday morning at a house, where he surrendered after officers surrounded the home, Tulsa police said in a tweet. CNN has reached out to an attorney for Ware, but hasn't yet received a response.
Johnson was shot multiple times, including in the head, police said. His condition didn't improve after surgery. Officer Aurash Zarkeshan, who was also shot in the head, is still in critical condition but has been responsive to hospital staff, Tulsa Police Department spokesman Jeanne Pierce told CNN.
Johnson joined the department in 2005, Franklin said, and his death is "a tremendous loss to our department." "Sergeant Johnson was a good man who made our lives better, who trained his fellow officers to be better," Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said. "Our city mourns."

Prayers for Sgt. Craig Johnson and his family.
he thought he was bound for glory. He probably won’t like the kind of glory hole he’s headed to, tho.
what a P O S!
Sadly, there are a few hand clappers around here (thankfully, they have been mostly quiet recently).
May he Rest In Peace.
He deserves the needle.
What a friggin loser. No punishment for that worm can be too severe.
The Democrat have put their foot on the accelerator to Hell.
It just boggles the mind. Spirit of antichrist at work.
Heard on another website. Prayers.

Have to say I hope he gets what he’s dished out. And that goes for all those who are attacking officers.
“Everyone’s got to be ready to shoot back.”
Everyone needs to be ready to meet Jesus. I just watched these two links sent to me by Freepers on Tuesday. . .see what you think. The first is very informative; the second a personal experience.

I had a nagging in my soul last year that 2020 was going to be a “year”.
I don’t think we’ve seen all of it yet. Obviously we haven’t seen the whole year yet (duh).
But I think the DemocRATs and the NWO types still have things in store. /adjusting tinfoil hat
I’ll be happy to be proven incorrect on this one.
Dunno. I’m still kinda reeling from all of the Democrat insanity this year, so far.
Yes, and all the officers there...sad sad happening. He has two young kids.
I’ve been acquainted with several officers and my Uncle was A Sheriff In Buffalo..and head of juvenile for a time. People really don’t have a clue the types of people officers face daily....let alone when they have to go into homes. What they see and face is too raw to put here but it would sicken more than most could handle just hearing.
Officers are sort of like our military in how they view one another...so when any go down it hits them gut hard, and a reminder they truly do face potential death every day.

“The Democrats have put their foot on the accelerator to Hell.”
A perfect summation of current events.
