When they arrived at the scene they found a person holding a gun, who was shot at by one of the officers. The shot missed, but the suspect was taken into custody after a brief chase on foot.

Inside the house, the responding officers found one man and four children dead, while an injured infant was helicoptered alongside a woman to a hospital in Tulsa.

The child later died from the injuries sustained during the shooting, while the woman is being treated for life-threatening injuries.
