Michael Vance
A double-homicide suspect, who is also wanted for shooting two Oklahoma police officers, posted two Facebook Live videos while on the run from authorities Monday, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to BuzzFeed News.
Michael Vance, 38, is believed to be armed and dangerous. He's posted footage to Facebook of an AK-47 assault rifle, the gun believed to be used in the Sunday night shootings.
News 9 reported that two Wellston, Oklahoma police officers were shot at around 6:30 pm Sunday while responding to a call of shots fired. Both officers suffered non-life-threatening wounds.
He's alleged to have fired at least twice at police before carjacking a Lincoln Town Car and fleeing the scene. Vance is also suspected in the murder of two people whose bodies were found at his uncle's house, according to police.
It is not clear if Vance carjacked a second car but police believe he is currently driving a gray Mitsubishi Eclipse.
The videos posted to Facebook Live early Monday depict Vance driving while discussing his confrontation with police.
“We do believe that’s him,” Oklahoma County Sheriff’s spokesman Mark Opgrande told BuzzFeed News. “When you see the videos it’s pretty obvious.”
In the first video, Vance appears to be bleeding, telling the camera, “It hurts, it sucks.” Authorities believe that he was shot during the gunfight with officers.
“This is more intense than what I thought it was going to be,” Vance says.
He tells the camera that the truck he’s driving is “about dead" then he says, “I’m about to steal another car.”
“This shit is going to be intense,” Vance says.
In the second video, Vance says, “What’s up y’all, just letting you know this is real. This isn’t a joke, this isn’t a prank, this is live.”
He says that he is badly hurt. Then he addresses someone he calls, “sis.”
“Thank you for trying to help. I know we didn’t get the vest, but it’s going to be alright,” Vance say.
Vance was recently released from the Lincoln County jail after being arrested and accused of child sexual assault, police told News 9.
While the search continues for Vance, police have taken another person into custody for questioning.
