Who owned the gun a Kansas City man allegedly used in Saturday's shoot out with police?
MIAMI, Okla. – A Kansas City man involved in an officer-related shooting on Saturday had no criminal history and no ties to the Miami area, Miami Police Chief Stephen Sigmon confirmed on Tuesday. Sigmon said Cook's weapon was a 9mm Glock handgun that was legally registered to him. It is believed he has had the weapon for several years, he said. Michael Cook, 25, is accused of firing a weapon into the restaurant, Mia Bella Italian Kitchen, on Saturday after an apparent disagreement with a 7brew employee around 9 p.m. The motive behind the shooting is under investigation, and due to Cook's lack of a criminal history background, Sigmon said, 'We think it might be a possible mental health episode.' Cook has no known ties to the Miami area. Police located his vehicle at the Starbucks parking lot, which is about a mile and a half from Mia Bella Italian Kitchen. Cook was shot several times by Miami officers and sustained injuries to his left hand and the upper and lower left side of his torso. 'He's had a couple of surgeries, and another surgery is scheduled for Thursday,' Sigmon said. 'Currently, they (physicians) are evaluating his leg.' 'We are still trying to determine the objective,' Sigmon said of the shooting. 'We know he came into the city on Friday.' Sigmon said just before the shooting, Miami police received a telephone call of Cook beating on the window of a woman's car. 'We showed up just as the shooting began,' Sigmon said. Two police officers started pursuing Cook on foot as gunfire ensued, while the other two police officers tried to head off the Kansas City man in their police units, he said. Sigmon praised the officers, citing their bravery and professionalism. 'I want to commend the officers running toward the gunshot fired,' Sigmon said. Four Miami police officers are on paid administrative leave during the investigation into the shooting. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations is handling the case due to officer involvment.
