TULSA, Oklahoma - An off-duty officer on his way to the Garth Brooks concert with his family shot and killed a man who reportedly had attacked a woman on the street Friday evening, Tulsa police said. Police said the officer stopped to break up a fight on the side of the street, but the attacker pulled a gun and the off-duty officer opened fire.

We've learned Andrew Bryiant is from the Oklahoma City area and is a security officer for the Veterans Affairs department.

Downtown Tulsa was brought to a standstill during rush-hour traffic after shots were fired near 11th and Denver. Joy Smith was across the street and said she saw a fight break out across the street and someone pull a gun.

"It was a loud pop, pop, pop, pop," Smith said.

"I just truly went into shock. I thought about hitting the ground and, yeah, I just stood there."
