Oklahoma City, OK, United States (AHN) – Robbers shot an off-duty major with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office as the man was delivering money to a bank from a restaurant where he worked part time.

Waldenville is a 25-year veteran with the sheriff’s office. He also holds a master’s degree in business administration. He supervises the sheriff’s office administrative services bureau.

He worked part-time security for the Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in Oklahoma City. The shooting happened around midnight.

Oklahoma City Police are looking for two black men who were reportedly wearing hooded sweatshirts at the time of the robbery.
