Man arrested for firing shots outside Tulsa County Courthouse

UPDATE: Tulsa Police say they have arrested the man who allegedly fired shots Wednesday outside of the Tulsa County Courthouse.

In an arrest report, investigators say a witness took pictures of a black man sitting inside a Black Ford F150.

An ATF agent inside the federal courthouse heard the shots and ran outside.

The agent said he saw the truck take off and saw a masked driver and passenger.

The agent says he witnessed Travis Ruff fire multiple shots at a group of people.

Tulsa Police say the shooting was in response to high emotions in the preliminary hearing for the murder of a 12-year-old boy.

He is facing charges of shooting a firearm from a vehicle.


Tulsa police said someone fired gunshots in a parking garage outside the Tulsa County Courthouse Wednesday afternoon.

According to TPD, the situation appears to be related to a hearing that had just taken place inside the courthouse. We’re told that hearing was related to the killing of a 12-year-old.

“Words were exchanged and that culminated into an altercation where someone decided to pull out a gun and fire multiple rounds in the parking garage.” Captain Richard Meulenberg said.

TPD said they were not aware of anyone being hit by the gunfire and said the search for a suspect was ongoing.
