Courthouse Shooting Suspect's Hearing Continues Tuesday

Posted: Updated:

A competency hearing for the man accused of a shooting outside the Tulsa County courthouse will continue Tuesday.

Andrew Dennehy is charged in the March 7th incident where he allegedly shot and injured a sheriff's deputy and innocent bystander.

Those deputies returned fire, hitting Dennehey.

Dennehey was in court Monday for a hearing to see if he's mentally fit for trial. Jury selection began around noon after a two-hour delay. Attorney interviews of the jury pool began into the evening.

The process will continue on Tuesday morning.

A psychologist retained by the defense says Dennehy exhibited psychotic delusions of persecution and doesn't have the present capacity to rationally assist in his defense.

The AP contributed to this story.
