Five people were killed in a shooting at Tulsa Hospital

Authorities say a man armed with a gun and a pistol killed four people Wednesday at the Tulsa Medical Center, the latest in a series of deadly shootings across the country.

Tulsa police deputy chief Eric Tolkleesh confirmed the death toll, and the shooter was pronounced dead at the scene.

It is unknown at this time what caused the fire.

“Both weapons appear to have been used at the scene, at one time or another,” Tolkleesh said. “Officers who arrived heard gunshots in the building, which led them to the second floor,” he added.

Authorities responded to the call three minutes after the sender received the report, and five minutes later, at 5:01 p.m., Talklish said.

Police Capt. Richard Mலllenberg said more people were injured and the medical complex was a “disaster scene”.

Police and hospital officials said they were not ready to identify the victims.

St. Francis Health System closed its premises due to the condition of the Natalie building, which houses the Ambulatory Surgery Center and the Breast Health Center. There is an orthopedic hospital on the second floor where authorities found the shooter and several other victims, Tolkleesh said.

His mother, Tulsa resident Nicholas O’Brien, who was in a nearby building at the time of the shooting, told reporters.

“They were evacuating people. I do not know if some of them were injured before or in the shooting, but some of them could not walk well. They were limping and stumbling on the way out,” he said.

“I was very worried. So when I got there and heard that she (her mother) was fine and that the shooter had fallen down, I felt very good. Anyway, what happened was even more horrible,” O’Brien said.

A spokesman for the Department of Liquor, Tobacco, Guns and Explosives was also present at the scene, a spokesman said. A reunion center was set up at a nearby school so that families could find their loved ones.

The 18-year-old gunman, armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle that killed 19 children and two teachers at Rob Elementary School in Wolverhampton, Texas, opened fire Wednesday, eight days later.

And more than two weeks after the racist attack on the buffalo supermarket, a white man was accused of killing 10 black people there. In addition, several large-scale shootings were recorded in various parts of the country over the long weekend for Memorial Day in Wars.

According to the Associated Press / USA Today / Northeastern University database, 12 shootings in the country since January have killed four or more people. 76 people were killed in the shooting. The death toll from the attack is not suspected.
