At least four people were killed in the US on Wednesday in a shooting at a Tulsa medical building in a scene which police called “catastrophic”. Tulsa Police Department deputy chief Eric Dalgleish confirmed the number of dead and said the gunman also was 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, Mr Dalgleish said. “Officers are currently going through every room in the building checking for additional threats,” police said in a Facebook post just before 6pm local time.
“We know there are multiple injuries, and potentially multiple casualties.” Police responded to the call three minutes after dispatchers received the report and made contact with the gunman one minute later, Mr Dalgleish said.
