Tulsa shooting in Oklahoma news – St Francis hospital terrorized by rifle-wielding gunman and 'cops probe bomb threat'

ON Wednesday afternoon inside a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, multiple people were shot and five people, including the shooter, were killed, according to Tulsa police.

Captain Richard Meulenberg of the Tulsa Police Department said that the assailant, who was armed with a rifle, was dead.

He said he wasn't sure if the police shot him or if he shot himself.

The shooting had reportedly stopped, and officials were investigating the building "floor by floor, room by room."

The Tulsa Police Department announced on Twitter that a reunion location for families had been established at Memorial High School.

The massacre occurred just eight days after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, murdered 19 pupils and two instructors, and 18 days after a shooter killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
