”I seen him at the end of the apartment,” said O’Grady, a witness. “Went around the corner but not completely, turned around and I seen him go like this. At the same time, I seen a cop on the ground.”

Police said the suspect fired several times a one of their officers. O’Grady saw the officer take cover on the ground by an artificial rock. Police said the officer never fired back and was not injured.

”It all happened so fast. There was (sic) cops all over,” said O’Grady. “The guy just put his hands up and goes down.”

Chickasha police detective Lauren Jewell said the suspect surrendered after his gun jammed.

“We were able to secure suspect without any injury to officers or suspect,” Jewell said. “We then went into the home and located two deceased bodies at that point.”

Neighbors said the fatal shooting victims were married and managed the apartment complex where they lived.

O’Grady said the shooter was related to the couple and living with them.

“I said, 'I think that’s the son,'” said O’Grady. “Come to find out it was.”

Investigators are gathering witness statements, checking video and talking to the suspect to determine what led up to the shooting.

“It’s sad when a stranger does it,” said O’Grady. “But when they say and I say it looked like the son, when a relative does it, that’s bad.” 

Police have not confirmed the relationship between the shooter and victims.
