Four dead in shooting at Tulsa medical building in US’ Oklahoma

At least four people were killed after an incident of shooting was reported from a Tulsa medical building on a hospital campus in United States’ Oklahoma on Wednesday (local time). The police said the shooter was also dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It was unclear what prompted the deadly assault. However, the unidentified gunman fired both a handgun and a rifle during the attack, police said.

“Officers are currently going through every room in the building checking for additional threats,” police said in a Facebook post.

“We know there are multiple injuries, and potentially multiple casualties,” they added.

The police described the situation at the medical complex as a “catastrophic scene.”

The shooting comes eight days after an 18-year-old gunman armed with an automatic rifle burst into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas and killed 19 children and two teachers before being fatally shot himself.

Before that, a shooting incident was reported at a Buffalo supermarket by a white man, who is accused of killing 10 black people in a racist attack.

The recent Memorial Day weekend saw multiple mass shootings nationwide, even as single-death incidents accounted for most gun fatalities.
