A 17-year-old high school junior was shot and killed by police and her 17-year-old boyfriend committed suicide moments later as deputies were about to arrest him after the couple led authorities on a chase during a failed carjacking.
Farrah Rauch and Joseph Dugan, both runaways from Nebraska, were identified by their former school - Blair High School - in a letter to parents, as the teens killed in the shootout.
Muskogee Police said in a press release that officers were initially called Sunday afternoon to a report of an attempted carjacking and then a report of a stolen truck.
After spotting the stolen truck, a short chase ensued until the vehicle crashed, police said.
The two suspects, both of whom were armed, then fled the vehicle and the girl started firing at officers, said police spokeswoman Lynn Hamlin. Police returned fire, killing her, Hamlin told KRJH-TV.
Police believe the teens were in a romantic relationship, Teehee said, and were reported missing on Thursday, February 25. They got to Oklahoma on Sunday.
Police say the girl was shot and killed a few blocks from where the vehicle crashed.
The boy was located by a drone in a heavily wooded area nearby. As officers approached, they say he shot himself.
Four officers have been placed on routine administrative leave while the shooting is being investigated.
Police say one officer suffered a hand injury after falling during the foot chase and was treated at a hospital and released.
Muskogee police say their office is investigating the shooting.
Betty Baucom McConnell said she witnessed the events from her front door.
'I couldn't believe it,' she told KODT-TV.
'It looked like the wild, wild west. I couldn't get my phone to work. I tried to go live.
'I didn't know what to do,' McConnell said. 'The police did a great job.'
McConnell said she was enjoying a birthday dinner at home when she heard gunshots outside.
'[I] looked out the front door and there was this lady in front of my house with a gun and she was trying to get in my daughter's car and my daughter was at the door hollering at her to "get away from my car",' McConnell said.
'Next thing I knew she pulled out the gun and she got in her stance and she was shooting at the police and police was shooting back at her.'
