McLean, VA (June 25, 2024) - Tulsa (OK) Police Officer Harry Aurandt was mortally wounded on December 19, 1921, when he and Chief Detective Ike Wilkinson were shot in an ambush attack while investigating a suspicious vehicle. He left behind a three-year-old son who went on to become one of the most beloved figures in all of America. The son was named Paul Harvey Aurandt but, of course, we all know him simply as Paul Harvey—the most popular broadcaster in the history of American radio.
