UPDATED. The incident in Tulsa is the latest in a series of mass shootings that have shocked Americans and reignited debates about gun control.
TULSA, USA – A man armed with a rifle and a handgun killed four people inside a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Wednesday, June 1, before fatally shooting himself, and officers’ quick response to the incident helped ensure more people were not harmed, police said.
The officers made contact with the victims and the suspect five minutes later, Dalgleish said. Police responses have come under increased scrutiny after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in a Texas school classroom last week while officers waited outside for nearly an hour. “I will say Tulsa revisits that topic regularly. I was very happy with what we know so far regarding the response of our officers,” Dalgleish said.
Police said they were trying to determine the suspect’s identity and estimated he was aged between 35 and 40.
