“Four innocents and one shooter” are dead, Jonathan Brooks of the Tulsa police department said at a news conference on Wednesday.
Police have not yet identified the shooter and said that he died following a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The shooter had a rifle and a handgun on him, Brooks said.
Meulenberg said police do not believe anyone else is in danger, but they are looking at locations outside of the facility.
He added that the police do not think the shooter was targeting the entire five-floor facility, but instead that he targeted the second floor and “went to this floor with purpose.”
After law enforcement breached the door, they found the gunman dead with both “a rifle and pistol on his person,” the captain said.
Those injured are not suffering life-threatening injuries, according to Meulenberg.
He said investigators are trying to determine if those injured were wounded by gunfire or from the chaos of escaping the scene.
“We’re still figuring it out as people scattered and were carted off very quickly to this hospital and other hospitals with injuries,” Meulenberg said.
