​Body camera video shows man shot by Okla. police was unarmed

WAGONER, Okla. -- Body-worn camera footage shows that a man who was killed last month by a Wagoner police officer after a high-speed pursuit was unarmed.

The Tulsa World reports officer Robert Reynolds fatally shot 25-year-old Andrew Henson on June 7 after Henson rammed the officer's car several times during the chase.

Video recorded by two officer-worn body cameras shows Henson turn toward the officer with both arms extended after getting out of his car.

Officers say Henson pointed his hand in the shape of a gun, saying, "You're going to have to kill me," according to CBS affiliate KOTV. They say officer Robert Reynolds thought it was a real gun when he fired, killing Henson.

Both the men are white.

Police say Henson raised his arms like someone would hold and point a gun. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the shooting.

After the shooting, the OSBI said Henson made a "threatening move" at Reynolds, but didn't elaborate.
