Tulsa County Sheriff, Stanley Glanz, will address on Monday the fatal shooting involving reserve deputy Robert Bates. The news conferences comes just days after official records detailing Bates's training and certification were made public.
The 73-year-old reserve deputy was charged with second-degree manslaughter after fatally shooting Eric Harris, when he said he confused his Taser and firearm on April 2.
The records released include the training he received, including weapons training, and job evaluation reports. They date back to 2008, according to the Associated Press.
The records show that Bates participated in dozens of training courses, including firearm training.
Last week, a Tulsa World report citing anonymous sources, stated that sheriff's office supervisors were ordered to falsify Bates' training records.
In an interview with NBC's Today last week, Bates said the report was untrue and that had the paperwork to prove he received training.
"I want to do everything I can to make sure that people know that this allegation of falsified records is not true," Bates' lawyer, Scott Wood, told the AP.
An attorney for the Harris family is scheduled to speak Monday afternoon to address the training records.
